We present a novel technique in which a reflection scanning near-field optical microscope (SNOM) is used for direct writing of nano-scale patterns into hydrogen-passivated silicon surfaces. The reflection SNOM is operated as a combined shear-force/near-field microscope enabling simultaneous imaging of topographical and optical properties with subwavelength resolution. ... Beside high resolution optical imaging (<50 nm) and patterning of hydrogen-passivated silicon surfaces, the SNOM can also be used for transferring nano-scale patterns into ordinary photo resist with a typical resolution of 50-100 nm. The SNOM thereby overcomes the far-field diffraction limit of conventional photolithography.

CONT

Near-field scanning optical microscope [...] In this case the standard AFM [atomic force microscope] cantilever is replaced by something that can act as a waveguide for light(typically an optical fibre). Light is passed through the waveguide onto the sample and resulting light is detected via various means...

CONT

Microscope optique à balayage à champ proche. Il est possible d'éviter la limitation de résolution due aux conditions d'Abbe pour caractériser plus finement la microgéométrie de surface. Grâce à une fibre optique, on éclaire la surface par un très fin pinceau en incidence évanescente et l'on recueille la lumière diffractée; en balayant la surface on construit ainsi une image point par point.

CONT

[...] a principios de 1980 se inventó el microscopio óptico de barrido de campo cercano (SNOM o NSOM), en el que una fuente de luz nanoscópica, generalmente una punta de fibra óptica con una apertura más pequeña de 100 nm, barre la superficie de la muestra en la región llamada "campo óptico cercano".

OBS

Estos microscopios rastrean la muestra mediante un haz de luz que se emite (o se recibe, según el diseño) a través de una pequeña abertura situada en el extremo de la punta de la sonda, que no es más que una pequeña fibra óptica cubierta de un metal que refleja la luz y evita pérdidas. El diámetro de la abertura y la distancia sonda-muestra tienen dimensiones similares e inferiores a la longitud de onda de la luz que se emplea.

OBS

SNOM: según su sigla en inglés (scanning near-field optical microscope).

Subject field(s)
  • Microbiology and Parasitology
  • Bacterial Diseases
DEF

A bacterium, frequently living on the skin or in the nose of a healthy person, that can cause illnesses ranging from minor skin infections (such as pimples, boils, and cellulitis) and abscesses, to life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia, meningitis, endocarditis and septicemia.

OBS

Staphylococcus aureus is a Gram-positive coccus, which appears as grape-like clusters when viewed through a microscope and as large, round, golden-yellow colonies, often with ß-hemolysis, when grown on blood agar plates. The golden appearance is the etymological root of the bacteria's name : aureus means "gold" in Latin.... Today, S. aureus has become resistant to many commonly used antibiotics.... Methicillin was the first antibiotic in its class to be used(it was introduced in 1959), but only two years later, the first case of methicillin-resistant S. aureus(MRSA) was reported in England.

  • Steel
DEF

A test for determining the grain-size characteristics of a steel in which a sample is carburized for 8 hours at 1700 °F(927°C) and cooled slowly; the high-carbon case on slow cooling will reject cementite at the austenite grain boundaries and, by polishing and etching, the grains will clearly be seen under a microscope.

DEF

Méthode de contrôle de grosseur de grain austénitique pour les aciers de cémentation, consistant à cémenter un acier dans un cément normalisé, puis à mesurer par microscope les grains ainsi mis en évidence.

Pore size distribution. There are basically three different techniques for measuring the pore size of geotextiles. Initially, when all geotextiles were woven, the pore size was measured by using a calibrated microscope. In the case of rectangular pores, the size of the pore is taken as the smaller dimension. A grading curve for the pore size distribution can then be drawn on a semi-logarithmic graph(Figure 3. 8), with the percentage of the pores having the size specified, or a smaller size, shown on the vertical axis. The appearance of the pore size distribution graph is rather similar to a particle size distribution graph for a soil.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Contrôle structural des matériaux
CONT

Texture poreuse des matériaux. (...) Méthodes d'études. Les différents paramètres caractérisant un corps poreux: surface spécifique, porosité, rayon moyen des pores, distribution de la taille des pores, peuvent être déterminés en utilisant parmi de nombreuses méthodes celles qui sont le mieux adaptées: à la forme de l'échantillon, à la dimension de ses pores, à l'état de consolidation, etc.

OBS

[Répartition de la dimension des pores:] La porosité d'un géotextile est définie par le rapport entre le volume des vides intérieur de la nappe et son volume total (...) La porosité est à considérer comme une propriété globale qui ne tient pas compte de la forme, de la dimension des pores et de leur répartition.
