One scientist even used the atomic force microscope to “listen” to proteins unfold.

有位科学家甚至用原子力显微镜“听”蛋白质打开的声音。

Thank you, atomic force microscopes, for an awesome 2015.

感谢原子力显微镜， 感谢您在 2015 年的精彩表现。

This tiny arm with a shard from a smashed needle was the first version of what would become known as the atomic force microscope, or AFM.

这个有唱针碎段的小悬臂就是后来著名的“原子力显微镜（AFM）”的最初版本。

Luckily, engineers at MIT developed a new atomic force microscope that’s the fastest microscope of its kind in the world.

幸运的是， 麻省理工学院的工程师开发了一种新型原子力显微镜，它是世界上同类显微镜中速度最快的。

The new insights came from using an atomic force microscope to look closely at the silk of the venomous brown recluse spider.

新的见解来自使用原子力显微镜仔细观察有毒的棕色隐士蜘蛛的丝。

The atomic force microscope made it possible for scientists to watch ion channels open and close, test out devices that are too small to see—the list goes on and on.

原子力显微镜创造了可能，让科学家们得以观察离子通道打开和关闭，以及检验体积小到无法看到的设备——它对科技的启发推动仍在继续。

In 1986 Dr. Binnig shared the Nobel Prize in Physics for the design of the scanning tunneling microscope and later, in 2016, he shared the Kavli Prize in Nanoscience for the invention of the atomic force microscope.

1986年，Binnig 博士因设计出扫描隧道显微镜而与他人共同获得诺贝尔物理学奖，之后的2016年，他又凭借发明原子力显微镜而与其他研究者共同获得了卡夫里纳米科学奖。
