Abstract: The microscope for monitoring objects after nano-cutting and for investigating structures of macro- and micro-carriers under low temperature comprises a punch having a cutting edge, drives driving the punch along two axes, a platform rotatable in a plane, a piezo-scanner for recording a sample image along three axes, a holder with a carrier of the sample, and a probe unit to which a probe is fastened. The piezo-scanner is fastened to the platform, the punch is able to interact with the sample, and the probe unit is mounted on the platform so as to be movable along one of the axes. The assembly includes a module for mechanical action on the cutting edge of the punch to modify the cutting surface, which module is fastened to the same platform to which the piezo-scanner with the object carrier and the probe unit are fastened.

Abstract: A composite luminescent material for solid white light sources that include a light-emitting diode radiating in the 430-480 nm range and a mixture of at least two phosphors, one of which has yellow-orange luminescence in the 560-630 nm range, while the other one belongs to the group of aluminates of alkali-earth metals, activated by europium, different in that the second phosphor represents at least one light storage phosphor, virtually unexcitable by the light-emitting diode primary radiation and having a long afterglow. Cerium-activated yttrium-aluminate and/or terbium-aluminate garnets of various compositions, with the general formula (Ln)3Al5O12, and/or cerium-activated phosphors based on a non-stoichiometric phase with the general formula (Ln)3Al5O12+1.5?, wherein Ln=Y, Tb, Gd, Ce, La, Lu, Pr, and/or europium-activated phosphors of the following composition: (Ca,Sr,Ba)2Si5N8:Eu2+ can be used as a phosphors with yellow-orange luminescence.
