Transmission electron microscopy with Zernike phase plate.
The possibility of implementing a Zernike phase plate in a transmission electron microscope is investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The phase-retarding plate in the form of thin film with a hole in the center is positioned in the back-focal plane of the objective lens. The experiments show that the phase plate functions as predicted, producing a cosine-type phase contrast transfe...
متن کاملAtomic Force Microscopy as a Tool Applied to Nano/Biosensors
This review article discusses and documents the basic concepts and principles of nano/biosensors. More specifically, we comment on the use of Chemical Force Microscopy (CFM) to study various aspects of architectural and chemical design details of specific molecules and polymers and its influence on the control of chemical interactions between the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) tip and the sample...
متن کاملObject wave reconstruction by phase-plate transmission electron microscopy.
A method is described for the reconstruction of the amplitude and phase of the object exit wave function by phase-plate transmission electron microscopy. The proposed method can be considered as in-line holography and requires three images, taken with different phase shifts between undiffracted and diffracted electrons induced by a suitable phase-shifting device. The proposed method is applicab...
متن کاملCellular Electron Microscopy Imaging Reveals the Localization of the Hfq Protein Close to the Bacterial Membrane
BACKGROUND Hfq is a bacterial protein involved in several aspects of nucleic acid transactions, but one of its best-characterized functions is to affect the post-transcriptional regulation of mRNA by virtue of its interactions with stress-related small regulatory (sRNA). METHODOLOGY AND PRINCIPAL FINDING By using cellular imaging based on the metallothionein clonable tag for electron microsco...
متن کاملA nanocrystalline Hilbert phase-plate for phase-contrast transmission electron microscopy.
Thin-film-based phase-plates are applied to enhance the contrast of weak-phase objects in transmission electron microscopy. In this work, metal-film-based phase-plates are considered to reduce contamination and electrostatic charging, which up to now limit the application of phase-plates fabricated from amorphous C-films. Their crystalline structure requires a model for the simulation of the ef...
