We developed a new microscopy technique for precise nanoscale surface measurements. This method achieves 1.3 nm stability, enabling detailed imaging of biological samples like DNA assays and blood cells.

Area of Science:

  • Optical Microscopy
  • Nanotechnology
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Accurate nanoscale surface profiling is crucial for understanding biological and material properties.
  • Existing techniques often face limitations in resolution, stability, or complexity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce a novel full-field phase microscopy technique for quantitative nanoscale surface profiling.
  • To demonstrate the technique's capability for high-resolution imaging without scanning.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized swept-source optical coherence tomography (OCT) in a full-field common path interferometer.
  • Employed phase-stable cross-sectional acquisition without mechanical scanning.
  • Processed interferometric phase at a selected depth plane to measure subwavelength variations and reject spurious reflections.
