Electron microscopy spatial mapping

Many years have passed since the early days of AFM, when adhesion was seen as a hindrance, and it is now regarded as a useful parameter for identification of material as well as a key to understanding many important processes in biological function. In this area, the ability of AFM to map spatial variations of adhesion has not yet been fully exploited but in future could prove to be particularly useful. At present, the chemical nature and interaction area of the AFM probe are still rarely characterized to a desirable level. This may be improved dramatically by the use of nanotubes, carbon or otherwise, with functionalized end groups. However, reliance on other measurement techniques, such as transmission electron microscopy and field ion microscopy, will probably be essential in order to fully evaluate the tip-sample systems under investigation. [Pg.56]

It is clear from above that beside the conventional usage of SIMS for elemental depth profiling in semiconductors, it has a potential of becoming a powerful tool to spatially map two cind/or three dimensional distribution of inpurity elements. However, spatial resolution at present is rather limited (>1y m) especially if the technique has to be extended to sub micron geonetries. Transmission Electron Microscopy... [Pg.88]

Energy-Filtered Transmission Electron Microscopy EFTEM uses the low electron energy-loss spectroscopy (LEELS) to generate spectral images and enables the search of the spatial distribution of molecules, ions, and particles within nano structured solids, which could be differentiated by small changes. Thus, as reported, EFTEM provides a molecular map resolution near me... [Pg.415]

In microanalysis, LA-ICP-MS takes a position as complement to scanning electron microscopy coupled with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) with the advantages of lower limits of detection and the possibility to analyze volatile contaminants as it is a nonvacuum technique [96]. Microcontaminations or microscopic features can be analyzed qualitatively or, given the availability of suitable standards, also quantitatively (e.g., PbSn solder bumps with -100 pm diameters on a finished chip) [96]. Further use of spatial mapping is the study of Ga diffusion from a refill material deposited by focused ion beam (FIB) [96]. [Pg.895]

Electron microscopy and in vivo absorption and emission microspectroscopy and confocal microscopy allow detailed morphological information on the photoreceptor unit to be obtained and the spectroscopic characteristics of the candidate sensing chromophores in their ph) iological molecular environment to be determined. In vivo absorption and emission microspectroscopy and confocal microscopy also permit the photosensing units to be localized within the cell and, in some cases, the maps of their spatial and spectral distributions to be determined. [Pg.2398]

The most popular of the scanning probe tecimiques are STM and atomic force microscopy (AFM). STM and AFM provide images of the outemiost layer of a surface with atomic resolution. STM measures the spatial distribution of the surface electronic density by monitoring the tiumelling of electrons either from the sample to the tip or from the tip to the sample. This provides a map of the density of filled or empty electronic states, respectively. The variations in surface electron density are generally correlated with the atomic positions. [Pg.310]
