Overview of Microscopy Techniques

10.7K
The early pioneers of microscopy opened a window into the invisible world of microorganisms. In 1830, Joseph Jackson Lister created an essentially modern light microscope. The 20th century saw the development of microscopes that leveraged nonvisible light, such as fluorescence microscopy that uses an ultraviolet light source and electron microscopy that uses short-wavelength electron beams. These advances significantly improved magnification, image resolution, and contrast. By comparison, the...

Atomic Force Microscopy

3.1K
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscopy that can analyze topographic details of various specimens like ceramics, glass, polymers, and biological samples. AFM offers over 1000 times more resolution than the optical imaging system. Images generated from AFM are three-dimensional surface profiles, offering an advantage over the flat, two-dimensional images from other imaging techniques.
The AFM Probe
The probe is regarded as the heart of any AFM setup and comprises the...

Scanning Electron Microscopy

5.1K
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is used to study the surface features of a sample by using an electron beam that scans the sample surface in a two-dimensional manner. Typically, areas between ~1 centimeter to 5 micrometers in width can be imaged. SEM can be used to image bacteria, viruses, tissues as well as larger samples like insects. Conventional SEM gives a magnification ranging from 20X to 30,000X and spatial resolution of 50 to 100 nanometers.

Area of Science:

  • Control Theory
  • Surface Science
  • Instrumentation

Background:

  • Existing models for scanning probe microscopy (SPM) feedback, using standard proportional-integral-derivative (PID) controllers, often predict unstable environments.
  • These models do not fully capture the nuances of SPM-specific proportional-integral (PI) controller implementations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a theoretical model for analyzing SPM feedback stability.
  • To provide a more realistic prediction of feedback behavior in SPM systems.
  • To investigate the impact of mechanical responses on SPM scanner resonances during feedback operation.

Main Methods:

  • Derivation of a novel theoretical model for SPM feedback.
  • Incorporation of SPM-specific proportional-integral (PI) controller features.
  • Analysis of the mechanical responses within the SPM system.

Main Results:

  • The new model predicts stable feedback behavior for a wider range of feedback gains.
  • It offers a more accurate representation of SPM feedback dynamics compared to previous models.
  • Insights into the excitation of mechanical resonances due to scanner feedback were gained.

Conclusions:

  • The developed theoretical model enhances the understanding of SPM feedback stability.
  • It provides a foundation for optimizing SPM control strategies and minimizing mechanical artifacts.
  • The model's consideration of mechanical responses is crucial for interpreting SPM operation.
