MAC (magnetic AC) Mode AFM


In atomic force microscopy (AFM), a sharp tip is scanned over a sample while maintaining a constant interatomic force between atoms on the end of the tip and atoms on the surface of interest. Early implementation of AFM employed the contact mode of operation in which the repulsive force experienced by the tip was measured by recording the cantilever deflection. Under ambient conditions, these repulsive forces range from a few to hundreds of nanonewtons. The forces between the AFM tip and the sample cause pressures large enough to induce distortion, remove portions of the sample from the substrate, and even damage the tip. By scanning in a liquid, capillary forces are reduced, which decreases the forces between the tip and sample by orders of magnitude. Other forces such as contact pressures, however, can still lead to dulling of the AFM tip and deformation of soft biological samples.


An effective method to reduce destructive lateral forces and to enhance sensitivity and reproducibility involves dynamic oscillation of the AFM tip while imaging. MAC mode AFM was developed [1] to reduce damage-causing vertical interactions between the sample and the AFM tip. In MAC mode, a cantilever coated with a paramagnetic film is oscillated directly by a solenoid located underneath or above the sample. The oscillation amplitude that is utilized to drive the cantilever in MAC mode is better controlled and can be much smaller than that used in other dynamic-force AFM modes (acoustic AC mode, “tapping” mode) [2]. Due to its high resolution and ability to image in fluid, MAC mode with AFM has gained acceptance in the fields of biophysics, structural biology and molecular biology. MAC mode AFM gives detailed structural information about DNA, RNA, proteins, lipids, live cells and sub-cellular structures in native environments.

TREC (Topography and Recognition Imaging)


PicoTREC is a relatively new technique which offers fast binding site mapping as well as topographic imaging across a surface with nanometer resolution. It has been successfully applied to several model receptor-ligand pairs and some live cell surfaces. PicoTREC has been used to simultaneously record two separate images, one that provides the topography of target molecules on a surface and another that displays a map of specifically recognized target molecules on a surface [3]. Using MAC mode, PicoTREC, and optimized AFM cantilevers, a ligand can be kept in close proximity to the surface, allowing efficient recognition and gentle interaction between tip and sample during scanning. PicoTREC resolves molecular recognition during the lateral scan by processing the asymmetric reduction of the oscillation amplitude. In this way, the locations of target molecules are easily determined from their coordinates on the recognition image. This method eliminates requirements for secondary reporter systems. For example, no fluorescence, radioactivity, or enzyme-linked detection schemes are needed when using PicoTREC. Furthermore, the system is extremely sensitive, since single molecule interactions are readily detected. PicoTREC can be used for nanometer-scale epitope mapping of biomolecules, to localize receptor sites during biological processes, or to expedite force spectroscopy studies on areas of interest [4].

16. QEPRO-Raman Scientific-grade Spectroscopy


The QEPRO-Raman Scientific-grade Spectrometer is a preconfigured combination of detector, optical bench, electronics, probe and laser technologies that provide users with a remarkably sensitive system for demanding low-light level Raman spectroscopy. The QE65000-Raman can achieve up to 90% quantum efficiency with high signal-to-noise and rapid signal processing speed.


















QEPRO-Raman Scientific-grade Spectrometer



New! Optical Bench Enhancements

The great performance of our QEPRO-Raman Spectrometer has been enhanced to provide even more value: lower stray light, improved efficiency in the UV and Shortwave NIR, and better unit-to-unit reproducibility.

We are also offering a proprietary low BRDF bench coating to improve stray light performance and provide better reproducibility in unit-to-unit performance.

 

Quantum Efficiency to 90%

The QEPRO is the most sensitive spectrometer we have ever developed. The Hamamatsu FFT-CCD detector used in the QEPRO-Raman provides 90% quantum efficiency (defined as how efficiently a photon is converted to a photo-electron). Most of our other detectors are linear CCDs but with this “2D” area detector, we can bin (or sum) a vertical row of pixels, which offers significant improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio (>1000:1) and signal processing speed of the detector compared with a linear CCD, where signals are digitally added by an external circuit.

 

Increased System Sensitivity

In our spectrometers with linear CCDs, the slit’s width, not its height, regulates the amount of light entering the bench because linear CCDs cannot efficiently collect the light from the entire height of the slit. But in the QE65000, the 2D area detector can better take advantage of the height of the slit and the additional light, greatly improving system sensitivity.

 

Excellent UV Response

Because the detector in the QEPRORaman is back-thinned (or back-illuminated), it has great native response in the UV and does not require the additional coatings that we typically apply to other detectors for UV applications.

 

Demanding Low Light-level Applications

The QE65000-Raman Spectrometer is a great option for low-light level Raman spectroscopy. The TE-cooled (down to -15 °C) detector features low noise and low dark signal, which enables low-light-level detection and long integration times (analogous to the shutter speed of a camera) from 8 milliseconds to 15 minutes, with virtually no spectral distortion.

 

Onboard Programming

The QE65000-Raman also has an onboard programmable micro-controller for controlling the spectrometer and accessories. You have access to 10 user-programmable digital inputs/outputs and a pulse generator for triggering other devices. You can use the I/Os to flash a lamp, stop/start a process, and send a message/alarm during the spectrometer’s integration period. The spectrometer’s operating parameters can be controlled through software. In fact, wavelength calibration coefficients unique to each spectrometer are programmed into a memory chip right on the spectrometer.

 

Plug-and-Play USB Operation

The QE65000-Raman interfaces to a computer via USB 2.0 or RS-232 serial port. Data unique to each spectrometer are programmed into a memory chip on the QE65000; our SpectraSuite Spectroscopy Operating Software reads these values for easy setup and hot swapping among computers, whether they run on Linux, Mac or Windows operating systems.

 

QE65000-Raman Configuration

The QE65000-Raman is preconfigured with the following, along with SpectraSuite spectrometer operating software, probe (RIP-Probe-785), laser (Laser-785-IP), and our Annual Service Package (ASP) to extend the warranty from 1 year to 2 years.

17. PORTABLE PINPOINTER RAMAN INSTRUMENT


PATLAB is equipped with a PinPointer instrument that packs a full-featured Raman system in a true hand-held unit. This is the next generation of the portable Raman spectrometer that was featured in an episode of CSI Miami and a cave exploring documentary by NASA scientists on the National Geographic Channel. The unit is controlled by a miniature Windows computer and features easy-to-use ID-find™ software that provides one-touch identification of unknown substances by immediate comparison of a measured spectrum to the on-board Raman spectral library.

The following figures give viewpoints of the  PinPointer instrument:-
















The PinPointer portable instrument has the following benefits:-


Easy and Fast Substance Identification.  Many substances emit a characteristic light when illuminated with a laser, the Raman scatter effect, which uniquely identifies a molecular structure. With a touch of a button, the PinPointer collects and analyzes this scattered light from a chemical under test. The included ID-find software can search thousands of stored reference spectra to identify unknown substances. Within seconds, the detected chemical is identified and its name and properties displayed.


Affordable, Compact, High Performance.  The PinPointer provides the same performance as other handheld Raman spectrometers proposed for homeland security or on-site chemical identification but costs much less.
