Dear researchers,
Recently, Researchers have succeeded to capture high resolution image of a molecule showing clearly its shape and chemical bonds through atomic force microscope (AFM)!!! (see attached pic.).
How could such breakthrough atomic-level imaging contribute to boost research at the interface chemistry/biology ?
It is often the case that a chemical synthesis produces a racemic mixture of products. These can often be separated by chiral chromatography. Perhaps this methodology could be used to decide which fraction has which absolute stereochemistry.

Thank you for your opinion Adam B Shapiro .
Yes, perhaps this technic could be insightful for organic synthesis.
I think this also could be important for tracking a molecule of interest inside living cells..
Hi Mohammad Issawi,
Thank you for introducing this amazing technology. I wish it to applied for biological specimens in the near future.
Dear Mohammad Issawi,
Thanks for enlightening us with this vital piece of information. I have been looking out for such accurate molecular level imaging tools for so long.
