In the recent years, the atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been widely used to study the physical properties of many materials and cells. It could measure in liquid environment and without destroying the samples. The AFM is suitable for application to living organisms that are easily affected by the environment and moisture indispensable. In this thesis, we use the atomic force microscopy to study the topography and the mechanical properties of the yeast cells in aqueous solutions. The unmodified probe was used to analyze the force curve of the yeast cells and slides, and calculate the adhesion forces and Young’ s modulus by Hertz model.
