Studies of forces acting at nanometer distances and measurement of local mechanical properties (adhesion, friction, stiffness). Measurements are carried out in air or in liquids. This latter option enables studies of living biological cells in their native conditions. Main research areas are biology, medicine, environmental science and material engineering.
