Abstract
In recent research in nano and micro world, the Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) [1] plays more and more important role because of high resolution image [2] and vacuum free working environment. With the help of AFM, it makes people more convenience to get high quality live cell or fixed cell image [3]. The AFM also has the ability to test and measure the mechanical characteristic of sample such as force curve, Young’s modulus and roughness [3, 4], therefore, some researchers [4–6] focus on the subject of measuring the mechanical property of living cell or using functionalized tip to stimulate the cell by means of electric or chemical solution [7–9]. The vacuum free working environment makes AFM much more flexible in various working conditions both in air and liquid.
