Since the invention of the first atomic force microscope, the team at Park Systems has had a role to play. This role is often to continue research in advancing their product ranges, in other cases, it is all about educating more people on how to optimally utilize the capabilities of the devices they have on offer and many cases their role is to expand the knowledge base of the general public on what is available today. The latter also often serves as means to intrigue more people into the field of atomic force microscope systems.

One of the reasons why it is so important to expand the general knowledge of the public when it comes to this kind of advanced research tool is to inspire more funding from private sources to continue the work that takes place in the world of science and medicine. One of the most basic, yet highly advanced tasks in this field is cell imaging. Cell imaging is a key step in the process to study cells. During these studies, researchers can observe on a nano-level the process that the cell would go through. It would give them greater insights into the structure but also structural changes and molecular ...
... interactions that take place within living cells. The sophisticated technology of AFM allows researchers to not only explore living cells on a nano-level without interference but the technology also allows them to manipulate these cells without causing any structural damage.

Living cells are by far a better research object to explore the true nature of the structure and functions taking place on a cellular level than relying on fixed cell microscopy. It provides scientists with the opportunity to explore real-time cellular processes. Understanding these processes is vital in the studies of cell biology as part of medical research. While medical research in a range of fields is a continuous process, the global pandemic shed some additional light on how vital it is to the overall health of humankind to be able to explore the world beyond the barriers of visibility through conventional apparatus. Never before has any kind of research drawn as much attention on a global scale as during the initial months of the global pandemic. For the first time, the wider population was interested in what is happening in laboratories across the globe as anxiety was growing over the need to find the kind of treatment that would work effectively to treat Covid-19.

What the team at Park Systems wants to highlight is that even if their solutions are highly advanced and enables researchers to achieve much more than ever before, the field is still highly challenging. The task of live-cell imaging is difficult and requires absolute precision and the correct technology to achieve accurate results. These experts need to consider a wide range of variables during their observations. They need to consider factors such as spectral compatibility, signal-to-noise factors and while these variables are all related to the equipment you rely on, the condition of the cell is another determining factor. The best is to rely only on the healthy cells that are kept at an optimal temperature to ensure accuracy in your findings.

While these experts in their field need to deliver optimal accuracy all the time, they also need to deal with the stress of the expectations of the wider public. Being involved in history-changing findings in an advanced laboratory is often far more complex than the average career, it is sometimes a position where you have to deal with the pressure that the health and wellbeing of the entire world can rest on your shoulders.
