Abstract:
This article introduces the basic theories about atomic force microscope (AFM) and electron microscope (EM), respectively. New applications of each microscopic technology in regenerative medicine, covering both material science and life science, are discussed. The advantages or disadvantages of the kinds of microscopes in working conditions, sample preparation, resolution and the like, are discussed and compared systematically to make clear each scope of applications. This could be a useful guide for selecting the appropriate microscopic analysis in research work about regenerative medicine.
