Exemplary AFM application in cosmetology

Description

Atomic force microscopy can be used in the diagnosis of the condition of human tissues such as skin, nails and hair. This is obviously related to the use of a variety of cosmetic products and can be understood as an attempt to assess their long-term impact on human appearance and health. An example may be the studies presented in [1] indicating the usefulness of the use of AFM in the assessment of the effect of creams on corneocytes. The presented research was not limited only to imaging, but also included spectroscopic measurements, indicating the variability of mechanical properties of the tested cells, expressed in the values of Young's modulus, and changes in the adhesion forces. It should also be noted that the aforementioned research was carried out in cooperation with one of the significant Polish cosmetics companies. The presented collection confirms the possibility of using an atomic force microscope for imaging the surface of a human hair. Measurements were made in the semi-contact mode using the NSG30 probe. The set contains 14 images, similar to those found in the reference source [2].
