Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is a molecule that carries the genetic instructions used in the growth, development, functioning and reproduction of all known living organisms and many viruses. DNA and ribonucleic acid (RNA) are nucleic acids; alongside proteins, lipids and complex carbohydrates (polysaccharides), they are one of the four major types of macromolecules that are essential for all known forms of life. Most DNA molecules consist of two biopolymer strands coiled around each other to form a double helix. A scanning tunneling microscope (STM) is an instrument for imaging surfaces at the atomic level. STM is based on the concept of quantum tunneling. When a conducting tip is brought very near to the surface to be examined, a bias (voltage difference) applied between the two can allow electrons to tunnel through the vacuum between them. The resulting tunneling current is a function of tip position, applied voltage, and the local density of states (LDOS) of the sample. Information is acquired by monitoring the current as the tip's position scans across the surface, and is usually displayed in image form.BildnummerAKG5439507KollektionScience SourceBildnachweisakg-images / Science SourceThemenBIOCHEMIEBIOLOGIEDESOXYRIBONUKLEINSÄUREGENETIKMOLEKULARBIOLOGIESPEKTROSKOPIETOPOGRAPHIEVERERBUNGGröße3979px × 2856px (32 MB) 33.6 cm × 24.1 cm @ 300 dpiZur Lightbox 'My First Lightbox' hinzufügen Zum Warenkorb hinzufügenDownload
