Long-Range Motion with Nanometer Precision

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
New techniques require high precision with minuscule scanning dimensions.

Dr. William O'Brien, Mad City Labs Inc.

In several research applications, such as molecular spectroscopy and Förster resonance energy transfer (FRET), long-range motion is used to zoom in on a specific area of interest so that it can be studied at the nanometer scale. In drug discovery applications that use multiwell plates, long-range motion accesses the different wells, and chemical analysis in each well requires nanometer precision. Three-dimensional nanometer-scale lithography also requires highly precise registry over many millimeters. The common thread is that each of these applications must have a combination of...Read full article
