The use of the atomic force microscope (AFM) as a tool to manipulate matter at the nanoscale has received a large amount of research interest in the last decade. Experimental and theoretical investigations have showed that the AFM cantilever can be used to push, cut, or pull nanosamples. However, AFM-based nanomanipulation suffers a lack of repeatability and controllability because of the complex mechanics in tip-sample interactions and the limitations in AFM visual sensing capabilities. In this paper, we will investigate the effects of the tip-sample interactions on nanopushing manipulation. We propose the use of an interaction model based on the Maugis–Dugdale contact mechanics. The efficacy of the proposed model to reproduce experimental observations is demonstrated via numerical simulations. In addition, the coupling between adhesion and friction at the nanoscale is analyzed.

An atomic force microscope was used to image the morphology and structural reorganization of rat NIH/3T3 fibroblasts and PC-12 cells growing in petri dishes. NIH/3T3 fibroblasts had a uniform morphology and an extensive cytoskeletal network. Cell thickness varied from approximately 2-3 microns above the nucleus to approximately 20-30 nm over the distal processes, and cytoskeletal fibers as small as 30 nm wide were observed. Imaging over an extended period of time showed a limited degree of cytoskeletal reorganization. Localized force dissection did not induce significant retraction of cellular processes and immediate cell death. Differentiating PC-12 cells with a neuronal phenotype had a nonuniform morphology, abundant cytoskeletal elements, neuritic processes, and growth cones. The cell thickness varied from approximately 5-8 microns over the nucleus to approximately 100-500 nm over the neuritic processes; growth cones approximately 50-700 nm wide and end structures approximately 30-150 nm wide were visible. Repeated imaging showed reorganization of the growth cone, especially the appearance and disappearance of beadlike features and fibrous organization. Thus an atomic force microscope can be used for high-resolution real-time studies of the dynamic subcellular mechanisms that drive cell behavior.
