AFMs are non-visual microscopes, so --unless any readers would care to correct us-- the colour is indeed computer-generated. Complex software is used to generate colour in AFM images and is often used to show differences in height between different parts of an image. (You can see an example of this use of colour in the 'amyloid' AFM image above.) We emailed Suzi Jarvis to find out more about colour-rendering in AFMs, so stay tuned. Thanks! @J Good question!
