What are Some Commonly Used Multimodal Techniques?
Several multimodal techniques are commonly employed in nanotechnology research. Some of the most notable include:
1. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Raman Spectroscopy: Combining AFM's surface topography imaging with Raman Spectroscopy's chemical characterization capabilities allows for simultaneous structural and compositional analysis.
2. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and Energy Dispersive X-Ray Spectroscopy (EDX): TEM provides high-resolution images of nanostructures, while EDX offers elemental composition information, making them a powerful pair for material characterization.
3. Fluorescence Microscopy and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI): In biomedical applications, these techniques can be used together to track the distribution and behavior of nanoparticles within biological systems.
