In HREM images of inorganic crystals, phase information of structure factors is preserved. However, because of the effects of the contrast transfer function (CTF), the quality of the amplitudes is not very high and the resolution is relatively low. Electron diffraction is not affected by the CTF and extends to much higher resolution (often better than lA), but on the other hand no phase information is available. Thus, the best way of determining structures by electron crystallography is to combine HREM images with electron diffraction data. This was applied by Unwin and Henderson (1975) to determine and then compensate for the CTF in the study of the purple membrane. 

R are used to control the Amax of the chromophore. Interaction of the dye releaser with ETAox yields the corresponding quinoneimine (84) which is hydrolyzed in alkali to give the sulfamoyl-solubilized yellow image dye (85). Derivatives of l-phenyl-3-pyrazolidinone (see Section 1.14.2.1.4) can function as electron transfer agents.

The STM imaging of self-assembly of inorganic anions was reported by Ge et aL They have reported an STM image of a monolayer a-SiWi204o on Ag(lll) surface. Such observation are veiy important because of polyoxomctalatcs function as superacids, corrosion inhibitors, electron transfer reagents, catalysts and photochemical oxidants. 

The intramolecular electron transfer in the closed-ring isomer of the dyad was attributed to a transfer from the perylenebisimide chromo-phore to the dithienylethene unit. The dyad (100) is useful for ultra-high-density optimal memories and super-high-resolution fluorescence imaging. The triad (101) showed the key functionalities of an optical transistor. Gating and amplification could be operated with photons instead of electrons. 

Note the peculiarities of the work functions in a nonconducting medium (vacuum, pure solvent) and a conducting medium (electrolyte solution) when two metals contact each other, an electron equilibrium is always established between them, i.e., the condition te(l) = is met. The work function W is defined as the work of electron transfer from a metal to a point in the nonmetallic phase which is in the proximity to the interface at such a distance that the potential variation with distance can be ignored, i.e., beyond the superficial electric double layer, including the region in which the image forces are active ... 

In liquid ECAFM applications, the AFM tip and sample surface comprise the working and counter electrodes of an electrochemical cell. Additionally, a reference electrode can be incorporated into the liquid cell allowing the instrument to effectively perform as a three-electrode electrochemical cell. The technique has expanded into several applications where electrosynthesis and electrodeposition reactions can take place simultaneously with imaging [54]. Electrical connections can be made between the tip and enzymes on a surface to measure electron transfer and conductivity [44,52,55]. In addition, the tip can be functionalized with electroactive biomolecules to perform redox reactions and measure the amperometric and voltammetric response in situ [56].
