Quantitative Temperature Imaging by Scanning Thermal Microscopy

Quantitative thermal imaging of single-walled carbon nanotube devices by scanning Joule expansion microscopy.

Electrical generation of heat in single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNTs) and subsequent thermal transport into the surroundings can critically affect the design, operation, and reliability of electronic and optoelectronic devices based on these materials. Here we investigate such heat generation and transport characteristics in perfectly aligned, horizontal arrays of SWNTs integrated into transi...

Quantitative single-molecule imaging by confocal laser scanning microscopy.

A new approach to quantitative single-molecule imaging by confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) is presented. It relies on fluorescence intensity distribution to analyze the molecular occurrence statistics captured by digital imaging and enables direct determination of the number of fluorescent molecules and their diffusion rates without resorting to temporal or spatial autocorrelation anal...

Thermal Lens Temperature Scanning for Quantitative Measurements in Complex Fluids

In this work thermal lens spectrometry is applied to investigate the thermo-optical properties of complex uids as a function of the temperature. The method is applied in poly(vinyl chloride), in polycarbonate and in lyotropic liquid crystals as the testing samples. The focus of the discussion will be in the temperature range where the phase transitions occur. The perspective of future studies i...

Micro-Nano Scale Thermal Imaging Using Scanning Probe Microscopy

Quantitative phase imaging with scanning holographic microscopy: an experimental assesment

This paper demonstrates experimentally how quantitative phase information can be obtained in scanning holographic microscopy. Scanning holography can operate in both coherent and incoherent modes, simultaneously if desired, with different detector geometries. A spatially integrating detector provides an incoherent hologram of the object's intensity distribution (absorption and/or fluorescence, ...
