With an optical microscope, we are typically blind at the nanoscale. However, in-situ Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) imaging offers a high-resolution method that surpasses traditional optical microscopy. 🏆 It provides much higher resolution both in the normal direction (1 Ångström) and in the lateral direction (3 - 10 nm). This advanced technique allows for precise positioning prior to mechanical testing, as demonstrated here. It’s no surprise to see the perfect alignment of hardness test marks with the grid structure on the sample surface. In-situ SPM imaging is revolutionizing our ability to observe and manipulate materials at the nanoscale, opening up new possibilities in materials science and engineering. #TI990 #Bruker
