Nanoscale mapping of heterogeneity in polymer films and nanoparticles
Superior sensitivity allows neaSCOPE to use low illumination power (< 2 mW ) for gentle , trully nondestructive IR nanoimaging ca pable of identifying even the most subtle sub-10 nm structures in any AFM ready sample from thick to ultra-thin heterogeneous polymer films & nanoparticles .
