White Papers, Application Notes, & Data Sheets
Clean, New Bioenergy Sources: One Molecule at a TimeResearchers at Penn State University are spearheading a multidisciplinary research effort to explore ways to produce bioethanol more efficiently from lignocellulose. Importantly, this is not corn...
Resonant Probe AFM: Uses and AdvantagesA resonant probe atomic force microscope (AFM) offers capabilities and benefits not found in commonly used optical deflection AFMs in the measurement of physical constants, physical properties, and...
Is a DIY Microscope for You?For some advanced microscopy and nanoscopy techniques it becomes necessary to modify existing instrumentation or build an instrument from scratch. This article helps readers determine whether a...
Understand Noise at the Sub-nanometer LevelEvery positioner has some level of uncertainty in its position, some slight amount of movement that contributes noise to a measurement. The question is whether that uncertainty - also known as...
Principles of Scanning Nitrogen-Vacancy Magnetometry ExplainedScanning nitrogen-vacancy (NV) magnetometry is a measurement technique that combines scanned probe microscopy (SPM) with optically detected magnetic resonance (ODMR) to image magnetic field...
Positioning at the Nanoscale (and Below): Trust in Proven PerformanceThrough a deep knowledge of sensing technologies, technically adept personnel, and experience across applications as diverse as astronomy to live cell imaging, Mad City Labs helps our customers...
Ingenuity + Instrumentation: Creating a Novel 4D Microscopy MethodTracking particles at the micro or nanoscale is inherently difficult due to the complexity of the systems studied, as well as the technical challenges: a blend of instrument design, photonics,...
Precision Motion and How to Achieve ItNanoscale motion requires fastidious attention to instrumentation, passive controls, and experiment design. Most users have experience in motion control within the sphere of the microscale. In this...
Nanopositioning! What is it good for?This article explores the nuances of piezo nanopositioners, how they function, and the extent of their capability. We also examine how closed-loop feedback control can be applied to a piezo...
Near-Field Scanning Optical Microscopes: Capabilities and ApplicationsNSOM techniques and instrumentation have evolved to become vital tools for material characterization, providing high-quality data and continually expanding utility, spot-on accuracy, adaptability,...
Atomic Force Microscopy Enhances the Nanoscopy ToolkitImaging and morphology represent a critical puzzle piece when trying to understand nanoscale structures, whether they are naturally occurring, such as viruses, or engineered structures, such as...
Understanding Virus Mechanisms – One Particle at a TimeSingle-molecule microscopy techniques facilitate direct study of molecular mechanisms, enabling leaps in understanding surrounding how viruses assemble, disassemble, and interact with their hosts. In...
Extreme Metrology: Big Science Requires a Nano-perspectiveExtreme metrology represents the cutting edge in technological demand from the material researchers, astronomers, and other physicists whose work demands nearly unattainable precision. Understanding...
How to Specify a Custom Designed InstrumentWhile it can seem daunting to design a custom instrument from scratch, a well-organized preparation effort and a knowledgeable industrial partner can simplify the process and, more important, greatly...
Custom vs. Off-the-Shelf Solutions: Are you dreaming big enough?Custom positioning solutions provide more leeway for innovation, and at far less cost, than many customers realize. Irrespective of whether the goal is a one-off solution or multiple units for a...
Building a DIY Atomic Force MicroscopeAtomic force microscopes (AFM) are often seen as out of reach for many scientists with limited budgets. But they are useful and versatile tools for characterizing surfaces, mapping out morphology,...
Fluorescence Microscopy Technique Provides New Views of Biological ProcessesIntroduction to the technique of MicroMirror TIRF (total internal reflection fluorescence) microscopy. The MicroMirror TIRF microscopy technique offers significant signal-to-noise ratio improvements...
Close Is Not Close Enough: Micropositioners' Role In NanopositioningWhen working at the nanoscale, every input has seismic impact on the ability to view, position, or manipulate the object of their attention. Whether the application is in single-molecule...
