Discover the Sarfus Technique by Nanolane
SARFUS is a new optical quantitative imaging technique based on the association
of:
- An upright optical microscope with polarized white light source;
- Specific supporting plates called Surfs on which the sample to observe
is deposited.
Sarfus visualization is based on the perfect control of the reflection properties
of polarized light on a Surf, which leads to increase the axial sensitivity
of optical microscope by a factor of around 100 without reducing its lateral
resolution. Thus this new technique increases the sensitivity of standard optical
microscope to a point that it becomes possible to directly visualize nanometric
films (down to 0.3 nanometer) and isolated nano-objects in real-time.
Applications include :
- LIFE SCIENCE
- THIN FILMS AND SURFACE TREATMENT
- NANOTUBES AND NANO-OBJECTS
