Abstract:

Accurate qualitative and quantitative characterization of sub-micron nanoparticles with a high efficiency is highly desirable across a wide range of scientific and industrial applications. In this study, we introduce through-focus scanning polarized microscopy (TSPM) for the estimation of nanoparticle parameters, where physical properties of nanoparticles are related to in-focus and out-of-focus polarization-resolved images. The feasibility of TSPM is rigorously demonstrated through a combination of numerical simulation and experimental measurements. Owing to its practical advantages, TSPM is anticipated to emerge as a powerful and versatile tool for highly sensitive metrology of nanoscale objects in material sciences and semiconductor industries.

Overview of Electron Microscopy

Overview of Electron Microscopy

The wavelengths of visible light ultimately limit the maximum theoretical resolution of images created by light microscopes. Most light microscopes can only magnify 1000X, and a few can magnify up to 1500X. Electrons, like electromagnetic radiation, can behave like waves, but with wavelengths of 0.005 nm, they produce significantly greater resolution up to 0.05 nm as compared to 500 nm for visible light. An electron microscope (EM) can create a sharp image that is magnified up to 2,000,000X.

Overview of Microscopy Techniques

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...
