We have used a commercial Nanoscope II atomic force microscope (AFM) with a custom designedtapping mode (TM) system to in situ monitor amyloid β-peptide aggregation related to Alzheimer’sdisease (AD). The custom tapping mode setup was successfully used to image the real timeaggregation behaviour of...
