Abstract: An apparatus which includes a probe for detecting a resonance signal induced in a sample. The probe and the resonance signal each have a respective, corresponding Q, and the ratio, Q′, of the Q of the probe to the Q of the resonance signal is relatively large. Preferably, Q′ is greater than, or equal to, 1.

Abstract: The present invention is a process for making a nanochannel glass (NCG) rica, having the steps of: coating a face of an etched NCG with a replica material (with or without an intervening buffer layer), where the etched NCG face has a plurality of channels arranged in a desired pattern, to form a replica coating on the NCG conforming to the pattern; and removing the replica coating from the etched NCG. The present invention is also the replica made by this process.
