Tuesday seminar The Principle of Microscopy : SEM, TEM, AFM 2014.02.25 So-Yeon Park vsoyounv@gmail.com
Contents • Introduction : Motivation for Microscopy • Electron Microscopy - interaction with matter - SEM : Scanning Electron Microscopy - TEM : Transmission Electron Microscopy • AFM : Atomic Force Microscopy
Motivation of microscopy Resolution of light microscope is limited ▶ possible magnification : ~ 2 000 Different approach : use electrons instead of light ▶ access to much smaller wavelengths ▶ electrostatic lenses instead of glass lenses ▶ possible magnification : ~ 2 000 000
SEM Scanning Electron Microscopy
Electrons for SEM image Secondary electrons (SE) Backscattered electrons (BSE)
Electrons for SEM image Electron beam Electron beam
Electrons for SEM image The intensity of emitted secondary electron for a line scan over some different surface features Edge effect
Functional principle Electron detector
Main concern of SEM High vacuum : to avoid crashing into air Edge effect
Main concern of SEM Charging effect ▶ non-conductive material ▶ no electrons escaping from specimen ▶ Gold coating More electron Diffraction Au, Pd, Pt

AFM Atomic Force Microscopy
Principle Tip Position-sensitive photodetector Laser diode Cantilever spring Tip by measuring forces between a sharp probe (<10 nm) and surface at very short distance
Mode of operation (1) Contact AFM < 0.5 nm probe-surface separation (2) Intermittent contact (tapping mode AFM) 0.5-2 nm (3) Non-contact AFM 0.1-10 nm
Contact mode The force on the tip is repulsive. Advantage: fast scanning, good for rough samples Disadvantage : at time forces can damage/deform soft samples
Intermittent mode(Tapping) The cantilever is oscillated at this resonant Frequency. Advantage: high resolution of samples that are easily damaged, good for biological samples Disadvantage : more challenging to image in liquids, slower scan speeds needed
Non-contact mode The force on the tip is attractive. Advantage: VERY low force exerted on the sample, extended probe lifetime Disadvantage : lower resolution, usually need ultra high vacuum to have best imaging
Limitations of AFM Used to study a wide variety of samples. The physical probe is not ideally sharp. An AFM image dose not reflect the true sample topography.
