A united analytical technology based on the integration of scanning probe nanotomography and optical microscopy (SPNT-OM) is presented and the potential of the technology is demonstrated by the example of multi-parameter analysis of encoded microspheres. The presented SPNT-OM technology can become a powerful tool for multimodal nanocharacterization of a wide range of microparticles, composite and hybrid polymers.
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.
