The need to image objects on increasingly finer scales and spatially localized specific molecules can be met by the combination of infrared, visible and Raman spectroscopy with scanning near-field microscopy, giving rise to a powerful nanospectroscopic too ...
The aim of the present PhD thesis is the elaboration of new, home-made Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM or NSOM), and the demonstration of its great potential for high-resolution topography and fluorescence investigations of soft and solid samp ...
High speed atomic force microscopy can provide the possibility of many new scientific observations and applications ranging from nano-manufacturing to the study of biological processes. However, the limited imaging speed has been an imperative drawback of ...
In this study, we introduce five unique scanning vibes developed in our laboratory for different fields of application These probes are the results of excellent collaborations with many external partners Each probe possesses many advanced features that one ...
The shape and dimensions of an atomic force microscope tip are crucial factors to obtain high resolution images at the nanoscale. When measuring samples with narrow trenches, inclined sidewalls near 90 or nanoscaled structures, standard silicon atomic forc ...
The thesis presents the development of a custom made atomic force microscope (AFM) conceived to image biological molecules at low temperatures in ultrahigh vacuum conditions, and its application to DNA single molecule studies. Starting from a first prototy ...
The Phoenix microscopy station, designed for the study of Martian dust and soil,consists of a sample delivery system, an optical microscope, and an atomic force microscope. The combination of microscopies facilitates the study of features from the millimet ...
NOVELTY - The microscope (11) has a set of four actuators (14, 16, 18, 20) i.e. piezoelectric actuators, and a strain gauge coupled to two opposed actuators (14, 18), arranged in opposed push or push-pull configuration to measure the differential motion of ...
The combination of the topographic resolution of Scanning Probe Microscopy with the subwavelength information of light/matter interaction leads to a new instrument called Scanning Near-field Optical Microscope (SNOM). This new instrument is an ideal tool t ...
A scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM)-based modification of the method to study the dynamics of single molecule receptor?ligand interactions exploiting the fluorescence imaging by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy is introduced. T ...
