Atomic Force Microscopic Imaging of Biologically Important Materials
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 15 February 2011
Abstract
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to image the surface atomic structure of hydroxyapatite [Ca10(PO4)6 (OH)2], HA, and brushite [CaHPO4 · 2H2O], DCPD. Compared to HA, the surface of DCPD was found to be much less complex. Identification has been made of one crystal plane of DCPD that has atoms commensurate with those of one of the observed crystal planes of HA.
