Study of Phase Transition of Copper(II)-phthalocyanine using a Near Field Scanning Microwave Microscope

Nondestructive Label-Free Mapping of DNA Bioassay Using a Near-Field Scanning Microwave Microscope

Near-field scanning microwave microscope (NSMM) is used to readout and visualize homemade 10mer oligonucleotides microarrays of DNA. NSMM instrumentation does not require labeling of target sequences with fluorophores or other tagging groups. Sensitive examination of DNA coverage and high resolution mapping of DNA spots in the microarray were observed by measuring the change of microwave reflec...

Scanning Near-field Raman Spectroscopic Microscope

Near-field scanning optical microscope probe analysis.

In this article results of a comparison of two NSOM probe characterization methods are presented. Scanning electron microscopy analysis combined with electromagnetic field modeling using the finite difference in time domain method are compared with measured far-field radiation diagrams of NSOM probes. It is shown that measurement of far-field radiation diagrams can be an efficient tool for dail...

The near-field scanning thermal microscope.

We report on the design, characterization, and performance of a near-field scanning thermal microscope capable to detect thermal heat currents mediated by evanescent thermal electromagnetic fields close to the surface of a sample. The instrument operates in ultrahigh vacuum and retains its scanning tunneling microscope functionality, so that its miniature, micropipette-based thermocouple sensor...
