Edited by Dr. Takeyasu, with contributions from leading scientists in the field of nanobiology, this book provides an overview of modern atomic force microscopy (AFM) technologies. It covers basic AFM protocols, newly developed technologies, and recent applications of AFM technologies in biological sciences. There are many nanotechnology books that focus on materials, instruments, and applications in engineering and medicine, but only few of them are directed toward basic biological sciences. This book bridges that gap.

Kunio Takeyasu was trained as a zoologist and neuro-pharmacologist in his early career when he was a graduate student at Hiroshima University and Osaka University. After his postdoctoral research on the molecular and cell biological aspects of membrane proteins such as acetylcholine receptors and ion-motive ATPases at Cornell University and the Johns Hopkins University, he joined the University of Virginia as an assistant professor in 1988 and started to utilize atomic force microscopy (AFM) in biological studies. After four years of research and teaching at The Ohio State University, he moved to Kyoto University as a full professor in 1995. Since then, he has been developing technologies for biological application of AFM. His most recent research has been focused on single-molecule imaging of membrane proteins and chromatin at sub-second time region with nanometer space resolution. Prof. Takeyasu has been a member of the Biophysical Society and the American Society for Cell Biology.
