Diagrams illustrating dimension of cantilever and axon being compressed by cantilever in atomic force microscopy (AFM). (A) Top view of a cantilever obtained by scanning electric microscopy (SEM). (B) Side view of a cantilever tip obtained by SEM. (C) Top view of the particle of a cantilever compressing the axon of a dorsal root ganglia (DRG) cell. Image was taken by a digital camera from the eyepiece of the optical part of the AFM.
