Atomic Force Microscopy

4.6K
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...

Overview of Microscopy Techniques

17.5K
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...

    • To demonstrate ultrahigh resolution imaging using a table-top CDI setup.
    • To investigate the potential of HHG sources for advanced microscopy.
    • To achieve resolutions approaching the Abbe diffraction limit in a compact system.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a high average power femtosecond fiber laser system to generate high-order harmonics at 18 nm.
    • Implemented a table-top coherent diffractive imaging (CDI) experimental configuration.
    • Employed a high numerical aperture objective for enhanced imaging performance.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved a half-pitch resolution of 15 nm, nearing the Abbe limit of 12 nm.
    • Demonstrated sub-30 nm resolution with an integration time of only 3 seconds.
    • Established this as the highest resolution reported for any table-top XUV or X-ray microscope.

    Conclusions:

    • Table-top nanoscopes with few-nanometer resolution are feasible.
    • The developed CDI technique significantly advances nanoscale imaging capabilities.
    • Potential applications span various scientific and technological fields requiring high-resolution imaging.
