Scanning tunneling microscopy uses a sharp tip to scan samples at the atomic level. Researchers carefully place samples near the tip and use Easy Scan software to allow the computer to slowly approach the sample for scanning. The scan results and a green or red light will indicate if the approach was successful or if the tip crashed into the sample. Fourier transforms and filtering techniques are also used to clarify scanning images at the atomic level.

Scanning tunneling microscope (STM)
This document provides information about a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) including its basic operating principles, design, modes of operation, applications, and related imaging techniques. The STM works by using the quantum tunneling effect to measure electric currents between a sharp tip and conductive sample surface. This allows it to image surfaces at the atomic level with high resolution. The document outlines the key components of an STM including the sample, scanning tip, piezoelectric scanner, and control electronics. It also describes the two main imaging modes of constant current and constant height. Common applications and examples of STM images showing atomic structures are also presented. Finally, related microscopy techniques developed from STM principles are briefly discussed.
Scanning tunneling microscopy
Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) is a technique used to image surfaces at the atomic level. It was developed in 1981 by Gerd Binnig and Heinrich Rohrer at IBM, based on the concept of quantum tunneling. The STM works by using a scanning tip, typically made of tungsten, which is brought very close to the sample surface. A bias is applied between the tip and sample, allowing electrons to tunnel through the vacuum gap. The tunneling current depends on factors like the voltage and position of the tip relative to the sample, enabling atomic resolution images to be produced. Piezoelectric materials are crucial for providing precise movement of the tip in the angstrom scale needed. STM opened

This document summarizes a student's final project using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to image samples at the atomic level. STM uses a sharp tip to scan surfaces and map topography by maintaining a constant current between the tip and sample. The student imaged dibenzo[a,l]pentacene but encountered issues with too much current, noise, and vibration. To improve, the student recommends using less current, reducing vibration and noise, and maintaining a cool temperature. The student learned about using large versus small tunneling currents and troubleshooting if the scope is not working properly.
Atomic force microscopy
The document summarizes atomic force microscopy (AFM). AFM was invented in 1985 and works by scanning a probe tip across a sample surface while monitoring interatomic forces. AFM can be used to create high-resolution topographic images of samples without extensive preparation. It has advantages over other techniques as it can image samples in liquid, at varying temperatures, and allow repeated studies without damage. AFM is commonly used to image biological samples like DNA, proteins, and cells.
Scanning electron microscopy
Electron microscopes use beams of electrons rather than light to image objects at a very fine scale. The scanning electron microscope (SEM) was developed in the 1930s-1960s to overcome limitations of light microscopes. An SEM scans samples with a high-energy electron beam, producing signals containing information about surface topography, composition, and other properties. Key advantages of SEMs over light microscopes are their greater magnification, depth of field, and resolution. Proper sample preparation including cleaning, fixation, dehydration and coating is required to image non-conductive biological samples in the SEM's vacuum environment.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) allows investigation of surfaces down to the atomic scale by using quantum tunneling of electrons between a sharp tip and conductive sample. An STM works by scanning the tip across the sample in a constant-height or constant-current mode maintained by a feedback loop. The tunneling current depends exponentially on the tip-sample distance, enabling atomic resolution. STM is useful for imaging surfaces in materials science, physics, and biology and can provide topographic and spectroscopic information.

Optical microscopy
Optical microscopy was invented by Robert Hooke in 1665 and uses optical light to magnify samples for examination. Key definitions are resolution, the ability to see two adjacent objects separately, and magnification, the ratio of the image produced to the actual sample dimensions. Optical microscopy is used to examine cervical smears, breast cancer imprints, frozen and paraffin sections, and culture cover slips. Stains or fluorescent labels are required to visualize transparent cells and tissues. Confocal microscopes focus and detect light for very sharp 3D images, while live cell imaging uses green fluorescent protein.
CVD
Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) refers to a group of brain dysfunctions related to diseases of the blood vessels supplying the brain. The most important cause is hypertension, which damages blood vessel linings. Risk factors include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, diabetes, smoking, high alcohol intake, atrial fibrillation, and hypercoagulability. CVD includes cerebral infarction (ischemic stroke), intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and transient ischemic attack (TIA). Diagnosis involves patient history and imaging tests. Treatment focuses on thrombolytic therapy, blood pressure control, preventing brain edema, anticoagulation, surgery, and rehabilitation.
Chemical Vapour Deposition
Chemical vapor deposition (CVD) involves depositing a solid material onto a substrate through chemical reactions of vapor phase precursors. CVD systems include precursor supply, heated reactors to decompose precursors, and effluent gas handling. During CVD, precursors are transported to the substrate surface through diffusion and convection, react on the surface, and deposit the solid material as a thin film as gaseous byproducts desorb. CVD is used to deposit a variety of materials and has applications in semiconductors, coatings, and fiber optics.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
