Surface Plasmon Resonance Microscopy Helps to Detect H1N1 Virus Particles

In the war against infectious disease, identifying the culprit is half the battle. Now, research professor Shaopeng Wang and his colleagues from the Biodesign Institute at Arizona State University, describe a new method for visualizing individual virus particles.

New Capabilities Extend Ultrastable Atomic-Force Microscope Applications

Scanning-probe microscopes (SPMs), major enabling tools underlying scientific discovery at nanometer length scales, are applied across a wide range of fields. These instruments—essentially sharp tips affixed to nanoscale robotic arms—have captured the imagination of scientists and the public alike in their ability to image and manipulate individual atoms and molecules.

Scanning Tunneling Microscope Helps to Image Molecule’s Inner Structure

For their look into the nanoworld, the Jülich researchers used a scanning tunneling microscope. Its thin metal tip scans the specimen surface like the needle of a record player and registers the atomic irregularies and differences of approximately one nanometre (a billionth of a millimetre) with minuscule electric currents.

ASU Professor Chosen as Fellow of the Royal Society

It was a problem that remained unsolved for 50 years: Aberrations made the images produced by electron microscopes "fuzzy." But in the mid 1990s, a team led by Ondrej Krivanek designed and built a practical aberration corrector to improve the resolution of electron microscopes, making it easier for researchers around the world to image and analyze matter – atom by atom.
