CytoVu™ from SiMPore allows researchers to perform more physiologically relevant co-culture studies. CytoVu™ membranes are able to physically separate cells by only 50 nm while maintaining their ability to communicate through highly permeable nanopores.
Major applications and strategies of tip functionalization are analyzed. Methods are described for force-volume molecular recognition mapping and single point force measurements. Results indicate that tip functionalization will be helpful when used with the PeakForce QNM imaging mode.
The Bruker Thermal Analysis (VITA) enables nanoscale thermal analysis (nTA), which is a revolutionary technique that permits the estimation of local transition temperature at the material surface with a nanoscale spatial resolution.
TEM Windows and grids are what hold samples in place during analysis by transmission electron microscopy or TEM. The selection of the correct window for your application can influence the results obtained and efficacy of sample preparation. Factors for consideration are detailed herein.
Huang et al. produced some astonishing images of graphene grains that resembled a patchwork quilt. To obtain these images the researchers used TEM and diffraction-filtered imaging to show the location, orientation and boundaries of hundreds of graphene grains.
By integrating a Raman spectrometer within a state-of-the-art confocal microscope setup, Raman imaging with a spatial resolution down to 200 nm laterally and 500 nm vertically can be achieved using visible light excitation.
Over the past several decades there has been an explosive growth in research and development related to nano materials.
