A Brief History
Lippershey
Janssen
In the history of the human race, we have
developed many instruments to help us see things
which are invisible to the human eye.
First telescope - ~1600 developed by a Dutch
spectacle maker named Hans Lippershey
First compound microscope - ~1590, developed by
Dutch spectacle makers; Zaccharias Janssen
and his son Hans.
Optical Microscopes
Optical (light)
microscopes
Scale of about 200 nm.3
Not small enough for
nanotechnology

Types of Microscopes4
• Scanning Electron Microscopes
o Shoot a thin electron beam at surface and look at the reflection of
those electrons
o Map topography (surface) of sample
• Transmission Electron Microscopes
o Pass electrons through sample whose interactions produce an image
on a screen
o Require careful sample preparation
• Scanning Probe Microscopes
o Use a physical probe to either touch or come close to touching the
sample
o Mostly give information about the topography of the sample

Atomic Force Microscope
• A type of SPM
o Resolution of fractions
of a nanometer
o Uses a cantilever
with a carbon nanotube
tip or similar object for
probe
o Has three modes for
data collection
AFM
Cantilever
and Tip
Three Modes of AFM5
• Static Mode
o Drags tip of probe across surface
o Friction causes deterioration of tip
• Dynamic or Tapping Mode
o Cantilever is oscillated at a resonance frequency
o Amplitude of oscillation is used to determine
topography
• Force Spectroscopy
o Measures the magnetic field within a sample
AFM Images
• Silicon
• 77 pm resolution
