Physicists in Leiden have developed a microscope that can assess four important features of a material in a single scan, all ...

The following sections cover the basic concepts and technologies that underpin the construction and operation of an atomic force microscope. An atomic force microscope is optimized for measuring ...

Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

This article serves as a basic introduction to the design and operation of an atomic force microscope. The following sections cover the basic concepts and technologies that help understand the ...

Accurate measurement results depend on regular microscope calibration to ensure consistency and reliability across scientific and industrial use.

Figure 1: An example of the use of the mmTIRFM in a CoSMoS experiment to study spliceosome assembly. Multiwavelength TIRFM often uses an objective-based setup in which TIR is generated by focusing the ...

My first microscope came in a small wooden box about one-third the size of a standard shoe box (not Frye boot size!) that neatly housed the microscope and five surgical tools: two scalpels, one pair ...

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed a new dark-field imaging technique that does not require specialized microscope ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far from still. By squeezing terahertz light down to microscopic scales, a ...
