The ability of scanning probe microscopies, such as scanning tunnelling microscopy (STM) and non-contact atomic force microscopy (NC-AFM), to scan surfaces with atomic/molecular resolution 1 and ...

Since the early 2010s, ultrafast probing of materials at atomic-level resolution has been enabled by terahertz scanning tunneling microscopes (THz-STM). But these devices can't detect the dissipation ...

Over the past decades, physicists and engineers have been trying to develop various technologies that leverage quantum mechanical effects, including quantum microscopes. These are microscopy tools ...

Scientists have discovered a new method to manipulate atoms. Using the atoms at the tip (that are chemically different to those at the surface) as “ink”, it is possible to “write” or “draw” with the ...

In this Insights from Industry interview, Benoît Dagon, CEO of Imina Technologies, talks to Will Soutter about their miBot range of manipulators for microscope sample characterization. Imina ...

Manipulating nanoscale light in scanning tunneling microscope junctions is attained by nanofabrication of gold tips using a focused ion beam technique. Researchers have demonstrated that a spectrum of ...

Key points of this article The McArthur microscope is a portable compound microscope developed in the 1930s by British ...

A team of Dutch and French researchers has built a microscope that can see atomic wave functions. The team has performed an experiment where they ionised xenon atoms in an electric field and recorded ...

Olympus, a leading manufacturer of high-end research microscopes, and Cytosurge, a precision manufacturer of cell manipulation technologies, have entered a co-marketing agreement to become a complete ...

Microscope stages are platforms where specimens are placed for observation with a microscope. They are often equipped with a mechanical device which holds the specimen slide in place, but allows the ...
