So far, only a few articles have demonstrated the possibility of correlated AFM‐TEM imaging – sequential imaging of the same individual objects using atomic‐force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The current work contributes to the development of this approach by giving a step‐by‐step procedure, which yields pairs of correlated AFM‐TEM images. We describe the application of correlation AFM‐TEM microscopy to lipid nanoparticles (small extracellular vesicles and liposomes). The sizes of individual particles measured by the two methods were in good agreement, taking the tip broadening into account. The correlated AFM‐TEM imaging can be valuable for single‐particle analysis and nanometrology.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
