title: [Biomacromolecules studied by atomic force microscopy].
abstract: Recent studies of biomacromolecules by atomic force microscopy are summarized. The resolution and reproducibility of AFM when applied to soft biosamples has been gradually improved and AFM is now recognized as a most promising technology in nanometer scale observation and manipulation of biological structures.
