Nanoscope Can Probe Chemistry on the Molecular Scale

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
A new imaging technique using broadband IR synchrotron light has enabled the in-depth study of complex molecular systems, from batteries and electronic materials to living cells and even stardust. The technique, developed at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory can identify and study molecules at the mesoscale — 10-1000 nm — with extreme sensitivity. The researchers, collaborating with a team from the University of Colorado, combined the IR synchrotron light with atomic force microscopy, prompting improvement in the spatial resolution of IR spectroscopy.

    spatial resolution
    Spatial resolution refers to the level of detail or granularity in an image or a spatial dataset. It is a measure of the smallest discernible or resolvable features in the spatial domain, typically expressed as the distance between two adjacent pixels or data points. In various contexts, spatial resolution can have slightly different meanings: Imaging and remote sensing: In the context of satellite imagery, aerial photography, or other imaging technologies, spatial resolution refers to the...
