Overview of Microscopy Techniques

10.2K
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

3.4K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Nanoscale science and technology
  • Surface science
  • Materials characterization

Background:

  • Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is crucial for nanoscale imaging, offering angstrom resolution.
  • SPM images are susceptible to drift, causing distortions that can obscure fine details.
  • Existing in-operando drift compensation methods do not always correct residual linear drift in obtained images.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel reciprocal space-based technique for compensating linear drift in SPM images.
  • To address the common neglect of correcting residual linear drift in atomically-resolved SPM data.
  • To offer a method that does not require multiple images from different scanning directions.

Main Methods:

  • A reciprocal space-based approach is utilized for drift compensation.
  • The method leverages a priori knowledge of lattice parameters for correction.
  • It functions without distinguishing between fast and slow scanning directions.

Main Results:

  • The presented technique effectively compensates for linear drift in SPM images.
  • It eliminates the need for multiple SPM image sets from varying scanning directions.
  • The method can also be applied to characterize and calibrate SPM instruments.

Conclusions:

  • This technique provides an effective way to correct linear drift in atomically-resolved SPM images.
  • It simplifies the post-processing of SPM data by not requiring multiple scan directions.
  • The method enhances the reliability and accuracy of SPM imaging and instrument calibration.
