Abstract :
Magnetic manipulation of a microcantilever for a new concept in atomic force microscopy, which is able to adjust the stiffness of microcantilever and do simultaneous imaging and manipulation of living cell, is presented. With the data of the appropriate magnetic force for operation, the magnetic elements are designed using a magnetic analysis program. The experimental results show that the design process is valid, and the precise manipulation of microcantilever is feasible
