Overview of Microscopy Techniques

9.8K
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...

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing PAFM for stable I/V curves and photocurrent mapping at the 1-3 QD scale.
  • Analyzing data using a model combining drift and diffusion currents.
  • Modifying QD ligands (thiocyanate) and substrates (gold) to study photocurrent variations.

Main Results:

  • Precise determination of barrier height, built-in voltage, diffusion constant, and ideality factor.
  • Demonstrated modification of photocurrent by changing QD ligands and substrates.
  • Established a power-law dependence of photocurrent on light irradiance (exponent 0.64).

Conclusions:
