Hi
     Our group is looking for a new AFM to obsreve biological samples. We 
already have a multimode scope from digital instruments, and it is working 
great. Parke Scientific has developed a machine which is much cheaper than the 
one we are having now. If anybody has experience with the AFM from Parke Sci. 
on biological samples, please let me know about the performance of the machine,
with respect to resolution, degree of destruction of soft samples, ease of 
operation, etc.
     Please indicate under what mode of operation you are using it. I am
particularly interested in contact and tapping modes.                           
                              Thank you.
                                        Jose K Paul
