The approach of the tip to the sample surface was carefully monitored by observing the background fluorescence increase (BFI) [28] and by shear force detection. It was stopped at about 250 nm. The investigated molecules are not necessarily near the surface. Three techniques were used to determine the distance between the tip and the individual molecule (i) saturation measurements, (ii) static Stark effect, and (iii) static Stark effect with lateral dithering. Fig. 18 illustrates typical measurements using these techniques. 

Boron compounds have low solubility relative to some cadmium, gadolinium, or europium compounds in nitric acid solutions, and would be more likely to precipitate from solution if high concentrations are required. Cadmium is a desirable poison however, it may be volatile at temperatures encountered in the waste conversion proqess and would therefore require an additional process for recovery. Additional requirements for, soluble poisons Include chemical stability in the solution and processing behavior similar to the fissile material. Each poison s neutron absorption rate is uniquely dependent on the neutron energy spectra of the system hence, the relative neutronic effectiveness of each poison varies from one system to another. Consequently, a mixture of poisons in a solution may be more effective than dither poison alone. ...
