Overview of Microscopy Techniques

10.5K
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...

Atomic Force Microscopy

3.5K
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...

    Summary

    We developed a sub-terahertz scattering-type scanning near-field microscope (sub-THz s-SNOM) using a metallic tip and quartz tuning fork. This novel probe enables high-resolution terahertz imaging and operates flexibly across cryogenic environments.

    Area of Science:

    • Physics
    • Materials Science
    • Nanotechnology

    Background:

    • Scattering-type scanning near-field microscopy (s-SNOM) is crucial for nanoscale imaging.
    • Terahertz (THz) frequencies offer unique material contrast but face resolution challenges.
    • Developing advanced probes is essential for high-resolution THz s-SNOM.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a novel sub-terahertz scattering-type scanning near-field microscope (sub-THz s-SNOM).
    • To demonstrate a new near-field probe design using a metallic tip driven by a quartz tuning fork.
    • To validate the performance of the developed sub-THz s-SNOM system for nanoscale imaging.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a 6 mm long metallic tip driven by a quartz tuning fork as the near-field probe.
    • Employed continuous-wave illumination from a 94 GHz Gunn diode oscillator.
    • Obtained THz near-field images by demodulating scattered waves at fundamental and second harmonic frequencies of the tuning fork, alongside atomic-force-microscope (AFM) imaging.

    Main Results:

    • Achieved agreement between the THz near-field image of a gold grating and the AFM image at the fundamental modulation frequency.
    • Demonstrated that the scattered signal primarily arises from near-field tip-sample interactions, as supported by the coupled dipole model.
    • Confirmed the probe's ability to adjust tip length for versatile wavelength matching within the THz range.

    Conclusions:

    • The quartz tuning fork-driven metallic tip serves as an effective near-field probe for sub-THz s-SNOM.
    • The developed system provides high-resolution THz imaging capabilities.
    • The probe design offers flexibility for various THz frequencies and cryogenic applications.
