Introduction to Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Video Lecture

This site has a video lecture on Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) by Prof. Arvind Raman of Purdue University that discusses the development, instrumentation, and operational principles of various AFM imaging modes. The lecture is accompanied by power point slides with clear illustrative graphics. Basics are provided in the application examples with advantages and limitation discussed. It…

Basic Microscopy Concepts

The site provides introductory information related to optical microscopy. Among the topics addressed are resolution, numerical aperture, depth of field, field of view, illumination and the useful magnification range. A section on fluorescence microscopy is also included. Interactive video is used to demonstrate concepts in some cases. Researchers and educators interested in a brief overview of…

AFM Nanoscience of polymer topics

This website provides an introducttion to Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurements on soft materials, like polymers. The basic principles are described, how the technique is used in pracdtice and provides interesting examples illustrating its utility. More advanced topics related to contrast imaging and the use of chemically modified AFM tips are also included. An…

Fluorescence Applications in Microscopy

The site contains a set of experimental and teaching modules that cover the fundamentals, history and practice of microscopy. Modules on microscopy, FRET, FRAP and Quantitative Multidimensional Microscopy will be of interest to chemists and biologists. Several include great graphics that would be helpful additions for instrumental analysis lectures. The website is available here .

Basic Concepts of Optical Microscopy

A comprehensive primer focused on the basic optical microscope, as well as the electron, confocal, polarizing, and stereoscopic microscopes. Virtual microscopes allow the user to simulate the use of a variety of real-life microscopes. There are galleries of photomicrographs illustrating a variety of specimens. This website provides complete instructional materials on the theory of light and…
