Abstract: This work presents different applications in progress with the aid of the atomic force microscopy (AFM) technique for biomedical and biotechnological applications, comprising both the acquisition of three‐dimensional images and spectroscopic force measurements, in the following systems: first, low‐density lipoprotein (LDL)–glycosaminoglycans; second, lectins‐polysaccharides; third, mycobacterium leprae cellular wall and Vesicular Stomatites Virus (VSV) with fibronectin laminin, and lipidic membranes; fourth, DNA—complex; and fifth, actin, as well as the development of surface functionalizing protocols and image restoration by means of mathematical techniques.
