What Tools and Techniques are Used for Visualization?
Several advanced tools and techniques are employed for visualization in nanotechnology:
Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM): Uses electrons to form images of nanoscale structures with high resolution. Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM): Provides detailed images of the internal structure of materials by transmitting electrons through a thin sample. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM): Measures surface topography at the nanoscale by scanning a sharp tip over the surface. Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM): Uses the tunneling current between a sharp tip and the sample to achieve atomic-level resolution. X-ray Diffraction (XRD): Analyzes the crystallographic structure of nanomaterials by measuring the diffraction patterns of X-rays.
