This document discusses characterization techniques for biomaterials covered in Module 6 of the MSE 204 Introduction to Biomaterials course. It covers Scanning Tunneling Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy, both taught by instructor Vivek Verma. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy uses a probe to scan surfaces at the atomic level. Atomic Force Microscopy scans a sharp probe across a surface and monitors tip interactions to generate 3D images of the surface's topography at the nanoscale.

• A sharp probe is scanned across a surface (left)
• Interaction of the probe tip with the force fields of the surface • By monitoring the motion of the probe from each pass across the surface, a 2-D line profile is generated • Then the line profiles are combined to create a 3-D image of the surface (right) Instructor: Vivek Verma
