At its core, SPM operates on the principle of measuring interactions between a sharp probe and the surface of a material. As the probe scans across the surface, it detects variations in physical ...

Overview of the main types of Scannig Probe Microscope types: Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) – using the tunneling current I between the outermost atom of a conducting probe within an atomic ...

The scalable fabrication of probe tips for near-field scanning optical microscopy creates new opportunities in imaging. The increasing use of nanostructures for photonic applications in sensing and ...
