Physicists in Leiden have built a microscope that can measure no fewer than four key properties of a material in a single scan, all with nanoscale precision. The instrument can even examine complete ...

The following sections cover the basic concepts and technologies that underpin the construction and operation of an atomic force microscope. An atomic force microscope is optimized for measuring ...

Accurate measurement results depend on regular microscope calibration to ensure consistency and reliability across scientific and industrial use.

This article serves as a basic introduction to the design and operation of an atomic force microscope. The following sections cover the basic concepts and technologies that help understand the ...

The ProZ uniquely combines large focus travel movement with precise encoded resolution (0.25 µm). Designed to securely accommodate components up to 23 kg in weight, more than sufficient for a zoom, ...

Physicists have finally built a microscope that can watch superconducting electrons move in real time, and the picture is far from still. By squeezing terahertz light down to microscopic scales, a ...
