← ScienceWhich outcome limits resolution during biological AFM measurements?
A)Tip-sample contact area broadens✓
B)Cantilever stiffness greatly increases
C)Thermal noise severely damages sample
D)Laser spot significantly defocuses
💡 Explanation
Increased contact area causes lower resolution because repulsive electron cloud interference broadens the sample interaction area, masking fine topological details; therefore resolution decreases rather than from laser effects or cantilever properties under operating constraints.
