Objectives and Learning Goals
- Learn function of the 20.309 AFM and the relationships between its components.
- Understand how to extract quantitative information from this tool.
- Use the AFM to estimate the value of a fundamental physical constant.
- Possibly to take images, probe sample stiffness, and/or perform protein pulling.
- Analyze sources of uncertainty and noise in the system that limit the accuracy of measurements.
