Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a powerful instrument that can analyse surface characteristics down to nanosize. This photo was taken using an iPhone X through a microscopic lens when the AFM machine scanned a single strand fibre (cylindrical object - sample) to characterize its surface. The pointed needle-like object is a LASER guided AFM cantilever that continuously touches the fibre sample to scan its surface.
