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...

Scanning Electron Microscopy

4.2K
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.

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...

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a qPlus-type tuning fork as the SPM's current/force sensor for high stiffness and stability.
  • Integrated the SPM with NV center quantum sensing technology for enhanced sensitivity and precision.

Main Results:

  • Achieved atomic resolution in scanning tunneling microscopy mode and 1.2-nm resolution in atomic force microscopy mode.
  • Demonstrated direct imaging of nanoscale targets and manipulation of NV center electrostatic environments.
  • Showcased scanning magnetometry and electrometry with ~20 nm spatial resolution.

Conclusions:

  • The developed SPM system facilitates the integration of color-center qubits onto SPM tips, creating 'quantum tips'.
  • This technology enables the fabrication of color-center qubits with nanoscale or atomic precision, advancing quantum technologies.
