What are some challenges associated with microscope technology in Nanotechnology?
Despite their advanced capabilities, microscope technologies in nanotechnology face several challenges, including:
Sample preparation: Preparing samples for high-resolution imaging can be complex and time-consuming, particularly for TEM and SEM. Cost: Advanced microscopes such as TEMs and STMs are expensive to purchase and maintain. Environmental sensitivity: Many high-resolution microscopes require stable environments with minimal vibrations and electromagnetic interference. Operator expertise: Utilizing and interpreting data from these microscopes often requires specialized training and expertise.
