It is powerful because an AFM can generate images
at atomic resolution with angstrom scale resolution height information, with minimum sample preparation.
That work triggered a close race between the Cambridge University group and a rival team at MIT in deciphering tRNA's 3D structure
at atomic resolution with x-ray crystallography, with the two labs publishing results within 2 weeks of each other.

Until now, scientists couldn't examine dendrites so closely because the only technique for imaging battery components
with atomic - level
resolution destroys these fragile filaments, explains study coauthor Yuzhang Li, a materials scientist
at Stanford University.
LiWang's lab also collaborates
with X-ray crystallographers like Carrie Partch
at the University of California, Santa Cruz, because X-ray crystallography is a powerful technique to capture static structures of proteins and their complexes
at atomic and near -
atomic resolution.
«When combined
with previous work, it is remarkable now to be able to assemble a true molecular movie of the photocycle of this blue light detector in bacteria
at atomic resolution,
with the intermediate structures appearing and fading in the correct sequence.
A European research team and a team from the United States (Massachussetts Institute of Technology in cooperation
with Lund University) have simultaneously succeeded in elucidating the structure of the most disease - relevant beta - amyloid peptide 1 - 42 fibrils
at atomic resolution.
While there are very good bioinformatics tools for the analysis, validation and comparison of detailed
atomic structures,
at present there are very few tools available to work
with low -
resolution data (i.e. volume or shape data).
Platinum
atomic signal was monitored
at 265.945 nm, and increased peak
resolution was adjusted
with 12 points per peak.
