Detailed Description
Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy (MRFM) is an emerging technology that combines the strengths of magnetic resonance and force microscopy to achieve high resolution three-dimensional sub-surface imaging of a test substance. WSU researchers have adapted and refined MRFM to study biological systems such as isolated cells sub-cellular organelles and other sub-cellular structures or cellular receptors and proteins at resolutions ranging from 1 micron to 1 angstrom. MRFM has the potential to significantly impact biomedical research and biotechnology including the potential to replace x-ray crystallography by directly imaging single-copy molecules.
