  • Flat scanning stage for scanned probe microscopy
    Patent number: 5705878
    Abstract: A three-dimensional scanner incorporates a flat stage for receiving samples. The stage is supported in a scanning frame by four identical quadrant tube piezo-electric scanner elements. Each element is fixed at one end to a fixed chassis and is fastened at its opposite end through a connector to the scanner frame. The scanner elements are operated in pairs to move the stage in an X-Y plane, and are operated together to move the stage in a Z direction perpendicular to the X-Y plane.

  • Bent probe microscopy
    Patent number: 5677978
    Abstract: A general purpose force sensor for measuring nanometer scale surface topography and other characteristics includes a hollow micropipette having an inner diameter of about 7.5 nanometers at its tip. The probe includes a cantilevered structure obtained by heating it near the tip to bend it. A reflective coating is then applied to the outer surface of the micropipette.
