Microscope Project for Undergraduate Laboratories
Optics is an important subfield of physics required for instrument design and used in a variety of other disciplines, including materials science, physics, and life sciences such as developmental biology and cell biology. It is important to educate students from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds in the basics of optics in order to train the next generation of interdisciplinary researcher...
متن کاملMeasuring Boltzmann’s constant with a low-cost atomic force microscope: An undergraduate experiment
We discuss a low-cost atomic force microscope that we have designed and built for use in an undergraduate teaching laboratory. This microscope gives students hands-on access to nano-Newton force measurements and subangstrom position measurements. The apparatus relies mainly on off-the-shelf components and utilizes an interferometric position sensor known as the interdigitated ͑ID͒ cantilever to o...
متن کاملGDQEM Analysis for Free Vibration of V-shaped Atomic Force Microscope Cantilevers
V-shaped and triangular cantilevers are widely employed in atomic force microscope (AFM) imaging techniques due to their stability. For the design of vibration control systems of AFM cantilevers which utilize patched piezo actuators, obtaining an accurate system model is indispensable prior to acquiring the information related to natural modes. A general differential quadrature element method (...
متن کاملAdvanced Control of Atomic Force Microscope for Faster Image Scanning
In atomic force microscopy (AFM), the dynamics and nonlinearities of its nanopositioning stage are major sources of image distortion, especially when imaging at high scanning speed. This chapter discusses the design and experimental implementation of an observer-based model predictive control (OMPC) scheme which aims to compensate for the effects of creep, hysteresis, cross-coupling, and vibrat...
متن کاملDiagonal control design for atomic force microscope piezoelectric tube nanopositioners.
Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) are used for generating surface topography of samples at micro to atomic resolutions. Many commercial AFMs use piezoelectric tube nanopositioners for scanning. Scanning rates of these microscopes are hampered by the presence of low frequency resonant modes. When inadvertently excited, these modes lead to high amplitude mechanical vibrations causing the loss of acc...
