In this chapter, AFM palpation was introduced to verify the entropic elasticity of a single polymer chain and affine deformation hypothesis, both of which are the fundamental subject of mbber physics. The method was also applied to CB-reinforced NR which is one of the most important product from the industrial viewpoint. The current status of arts for the method is still unsophisticated. It would be rather said that we are now in the same stage as the ancients who acquired fire. However, we believe that here is the clue for the conversion of rubber science from theory-guided science into experiment-guided science. AFM is not merely high-resolution microscopy, but a doctor in the twenty-first century who can palpate materials at nanometer scale.

Further theoretical studies supported by in situ spectroscopy and high-resolution microscopy are needed to be able to understand this unusually strong bonding between Cu and Ce. To apply such first-principles quantum chemical MD approach, new computational methods accelerating computational time by several orders of magnitude must be developed.

STM probes (e.g., from W or Pt-It wire) are fabricated by either mechanical cutting or electrochemical etching. Further treatments are sometimes used to sharpen them, such as annealing under high fields 133434 in techniques handed down from the original atomic resolution microscopies—field emission microscopy and field ion microscopy.135 136 Another method employed is to lift an atom or molecule onto the probe tip so as to define the tip precisely. One important issue that can prevent clear interpretation of STM images but can also be used to tremendous advantage is the fact that the atom at the very apex of the STM probe... 

It was also noted that the intensity was dependent on cell density, as recorded by the earlier flow cytometry work. As the concentration of probe was increased, the degree of membrane association was observed to reduce, possibly providing some evidence that the LasR dissociates upon binding C12 however, much higher resolution microscopy is needed to confirm these conclusions. 

Knowledge of these factors coupled to high-resolution microscopy and flow cytometry techniques would allow observation of such short-lived processes as syngamy and meiosis in cultures and in the field. 

To many of us, a crystal structure is the most beautiful conceivable representation of a MIM because of its high content of truth nothing can be more accurate about the way a molecule looks - in the solid state at least - than an X-ray crystal structure, save perhaps for some very recent advances in single molecule imaging provided by atomic-resolution microscopy [81]. Although we cannot see the molecule itself, a crystal structure elicits the visualization of the exact positions of every atom and bond in a molecule relative to one another in the solid state. The ability to rotate and examine the structure from any angle in three dimensions supplies a satisfying sense of connection with the molecular world. 

The use of HCS systems for lead optimization is generally limited more by resolution than by speed, since the number of compounds studied is smaller. However, even in lead optimization, speed can be a significant limitation and should not be discounted entirely. For the greatest resolution, microscopy-based systems are generally preferred over scanning systems. 

The previous section showed that interpretable HRTEM images are not obtained unless quite stringent experimental conditions are fulfilled. The important questions - What instrumentation does one need, and what does one actually do, to obtain an interpretable HRTEM image - have recently been considered by Veblen (1985a) who has described in some detail the experimental techniques that he has found essential for successful high-resolution microscopy. Because descriptions of tricks-of-the-trade are relatively rare in the literature, his main points are summarized in the following subsections.

The observation that the most photochemically reactive surface orientations all contain 101 facets suggests that the enhanced reactivity is not associated specificially with the bulk crystal orientation, but is a property of this particular surface plane. It is likely that there are special atomic configurations on this plane that either alter the efficiency with which photogenerated carriers are trapped at the surface or the rate at which they are transferred across the solid-liquid interface. Based on bulk geometry alone, there is nothing that sets the 101 plane apart from less reactive surfaces. On this surface, Ti cations are coordinated by five O, as they are on the (100) surface (which is inert). In the absence of higher resolution microscopy results, it is not possible to say if special molecular configurations are created by reconstruction or defect formation. 

The analysis of the shape, intensity, and shift of these Raman bands allows evaluating the electronic state, structural deformation, and defect density in CNTs and graphene. When complemented by other high-resolution microscopy techniques such as atomic force microscopy (AFM) or X-ray diffraction, pRS offers valuable insight into the structure and properties of these low-dimensional carbon systems.
