Item Magnetic force microscopy of the submicron magnetic assembly in a magnetotactic bacterium(Applied Physics Letters (American Institute of Physics), 1995) Proksch, Roger; Schäffer, T.E; Moskowitz, Bruce; Dahlberg, E.D.; Bazylinski, Dennis; Frankel, R.B.A magnetic force microscope(MFM) was used to image topography and magnetic forces from a chain of submicron single magnetic domain particles produced by and contained in isolated magnetotactic bacteria. The noncontact magnetic force microscope data were used to determine a value for the magnetic moment of an individual bacterial cell, of order 10−13 emu, consistent with the average magnetic moment of bacteria from the same sample, obtained by superconducting quantum interference device magnetometry. The results represent the most sensitive quantification of a magnetic force microscope image to date.
