We present a short overview of the recent efforts of our group in the design of high precision Casimir force setups. We first describe our Atomic Force Microscope based technique that allows one to simultaneously and continuously calibrate the instrument, compensate for a residual electrostatic potential, measure the Casimir force, and, in the presence of a fluid in the gap between the interacting surfaces, measure the hydrodynamic force. Then we briefly discuss a new force sensor that adapts well to Casimir force measurements in critical environments.

The adhesion forces between a single bacterial cell and different polymer brushes were measured directly with an atomic force microscope and correlated with their resistance to fouling.
