What Factors Contribute to Measurement Inaccuracies?
Several factors can contribute to inaccuracies in nanotechnology measurements:
Instrumental Limitations: The resolution and precision of measurement instruments like Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) can limit accuracy. Environmental Conditions: Variations in temperature, humidity, and vibrations can affect the measurements. Sample Preparation: Improper sample preparation can introduce contaminants or alter the sample's properties, leading to inaccurate results. Human Error: Operator skill and experience also play a crucial role in obtaining accurate measurements.
