High resolution imaging of electrical charge distribution on surfaces and molecular charge in solution

Image from Licence Details: High resolution imaging of electrical charge distribution on surfaces and molecular charge in solution

Applications: Surface characterisation, analytical chemistry, biochemistry.

Features Benefits
  • Uses a microscopy-based optical imaging approach to measure the electrical charge distribution of a surface.
  • Up to a million times faster than cantilever-based techniques.
  • Does not damage the surface of materials or molecules.
  • No limit on the usage times.
  • Can be applied to any optical signal of the probe molecule and a variety of probe molecules can be used.
  • The technology is flexible and can be used on a variety of surfaces.
  • Can be used to characterise both surfaces and particles/molecules in solution.
  • Diffraction limited spatial resolution and millisecond time resolution.
  • Dynamic changes in charge and chemistry can be monitored in real time.
  • Can be adapted to a scanning probe system.
  • Can accurately image surfaces over large areas.
