Combining the subwavelength resolution of near-field interactions with the optical contrast mechanisms of classical optical microscopy makes scanning near-field optical microscopy an interesting technique for many applications. In spite of more than ten ye ...
The objective of this work is to fabricate a scanning probe sensor that combines the well-established method for atomic force microscopy, employing a micro-machined Si cantilever and integrated tip, with a probe for the optical near field. A photosensitive ...
Several approaches are described with the aim of producing near-field optical probes with improved properties. Focused ion beam milling allows the fabrication of small apertures in a controlled fashion, resulting in probes with excellent polarization prope ...
Dried, fixed uncoated neuron granule cells and their neurites have been imaged in air by an atomic force microscope (AFM) in the repulsive regime of contact mode. Neurons have also been observed after swelling with glutamate or decapping. Modifications ind ...
The fluorescence resonance energy-transfer (FRET) process was studied between donor dye mols. deposited on the sample surface and acceptor dye mols. deposited on the tips of scanning near-field and at. force microscopes. The FRET process was obsd. only whe ...
Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) was obsd. between donor dye mols. deposited onto the sample surface and acceptor dye mols. deposited onto the scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) or at. force microscope tip. FRET was obsd. only when ...
Lateral force microscopy in the wearless regime was used to study the friction behavior of a lipid monolayer on mica. In the monolayer, condensed domains with long-range orientational order of the lipid molecules were present. The domains revealed unexpect ...

The fabrication and application of photoplastic scanning force microscopy (SFM) probes has been demonstrated. Simple molding and replication techniques, inexpensive photoplastic material, reusable molds and several layers per probe make it a very attractiv ...
A simple method has been developed for the prodn. of Au surfaces which are uniformly flat over large areas. Si wafers serve as substrates for the evapn. of thin Au layers. A glass slide glued onto the Au film allows successful sepn. of the Au layer from th ...
We report on the first successful operation of a scanning force microscope using microfabricated capacitive force sensors. The sensors, which are made from single crystal silicon on insulator wafers, consist of a cantilever spring with integrated tip at th ...
