English abstract:
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) allows for investigation of surfaces down to the atomic
scale, independent of their electrical conductance properties. Topographic as well
as viscoelastic features of surfaces down to single molecules can be obtained.
The system of our investigation is Euglena gracilis , a single celled green algae species.
We will present characterisation of the surface of this organism down to 10 nanometer
resolution in ambient air, HEPES buffer solution and purified water.
Furthermore we imaged cell organelles after we cut open single cells by using the cantilever
tip as slicing tool.
