AFM Image of E Coli
Caption:
This image of the common Eschericia coli -- or E. coli -- was taken using a special microscope called an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The AFM image was produced by tracking across the top of the bacteria with a very sharp tip. The tip is as sharp as a few atoms. The very small change in height (amplitude) of the bacteria’s surface is electronically amplified and sent to a computer that assembles the image.
