| Research Abstract |
1) Evaluation of the near field scanning optic microscope using evanescent light
(1) An optical microscope ; A probe of AFM was set on a specimen under an inverted light microscope for seeking appropriate region to observe.
(2) An atomic force microscope (AFM) ; A probe can scan 100 mutm maximum and the resolution is less than 10 nm.
(3) A near field scanning optic microscope using evanescent light (NSOM) ; A specimen was mounted on a lucent stage. An evanescent light tunneled through a surface of the specimen, when the laser light irradiated the rear side of the stage within the critical angle. The evanescent light was scattered by the AFM probe. The scattered light was collected by an objective lens and detected by a photomultiplier. The signal was amplified by a two phase lock-in amplifier and displayed on CRT.
2) Observation of Molecular Movement in an Aqueous Solution
We can detect a scatted light from an evanescent light. A hundred cycles per a minute is very slow to form an image to catch the movement of molecules.
3) Problem remains to be clarified
(I) We have large background-noise from a specimen which reflect the laser beam.
(2) Formation of a SLO-ring is completed within a few minutes. For delaying the reaction time, we set temperature of a specimen low using a cooling system. The cooler created another problem of thermal drift.
(3) We drive to scan an AEM probe instead of a specimen chamber since quick scanning was required.
