Sourced in United States

The Nanoscope IV controller is a core component of the Nanoscope scanning probe microscope system. It provides the necessary control and interface functionality to operate the scanning probe microscope. The Nanoscope IV controller is responsible for managing the scanning, feedback, and data acquisition processes of the microscope.

Surface Topography Analysis of Printed Surfaces

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
To measure the surface topography of channel created by an untreated and heat-treated printout, we scanned there surface using a Dektak XT stylus profiler (Bruker, vertical range 524 µm). The profilometer uses a diamond-tipped stylus (radius 12.5 µm, force 3 mg), which moves according to a user-defined scan length and duration (resulting in a resolution in terms of µm/pnt). By defining a width and step length, each scan length is repeated transversely to produce a topography map. For data processing we use the software Vision 64 (Bruker).
To resolve surface irregularities in the sub-micrometer range, we complement our surface analysis with atomic force microscope (AFM) measurements. We operate the AFM in tapping mode using a MMAFMLN Multimode AFM (Veeco Metrology) equipped with a HQ:NSC19/AL BS tip (MikroMasch, radius 8 nm) and a Nanoscope IV controller (Digital Instruments, Veeco Metrology Group). We scan an area of 13.7 µm × 13.7 µm with a rate of 0.5 Hz. To process the data and analyze the surface roughness we use the open source software Gwyddion.

Synthesis of Prussian Blue Nanoparticles

A 3D-printed Y-shaped mixing channel was interfaced with a Harvard Apparatus Pump 33 dual syringe pump (Holliston, MA) to prepare Prussian blue nanoparticles (PBNPs) by mixing iron(II) chloride and potassium ferricyanide solutions by slight modification of published protocols based on conventional mixing.31 ,32 Citrate-coated PBNPs (citrate-PBNPs) were formed by mixing 5 mM iron(II) chloride in 25 mM citric acid and 5 mM potassium ferricyanide in 25 mM citric acid.31 PBNPs coated with PDDA and chitosan (PDDA-PBNPs-CS) were prepared by mixing 10 mM potassium ferricyanide with 10 mM iron(II) chloride in 1.6% acetic acid that also contained 0.64% PDDA and 0.24% chitosan.32 Particle sizes were determined by atomic force microscopy (AFM) using a Veeco Multimode AFM with a Digital Instruments Nanoscope IV controller (Santa Barbara, CA, USA). PBNP suspensions were diluted 100× in purified water and deposited on mica discs. AFM was operated in tapping mode using a symmetric tip high-resolution probe (MPP-11100, Bruker AFM Probes, Camarillo, CA, USA). Hydrodynamic radii were measured by dynamic light scattering using an ALV/LSE-5004 (Langen, Germany), and particle zeta potentials were ascertained using a ZetaPlus analyzer (Brookhaven Instruments Corporation, Holtsville, NY, USA).

Synthesis and Characterization of Germanium Nanotubes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The DW Ge-INTs synthesized had an average diameter of 4.3 ±
0.4 nm and average length of 85 ± 56 nm (statistics performed
on 100 nanotubes observed by transmission electron microscopy), with
very long aspect DW Ge-INTs also observed at ca.
500 nm. Micrographs of synthesized DW Ge-INT can be found in Figure S1. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM)
images were taken using a JEOL-2010F electron microscope, JEOL Ltd.,
GB, or on a JEOL1400 electron microscope operating at 80 kV. One drop
of a dilute imogolite suspension (∼1 mg L–1) was deposited on a carbon-coated copper grid (lacey carbon films
on 200 mesh, Agar Scientific, GB) lying on an absorbent paper and
dried in air. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) micrographs were taken
in tapping mode using a Digital Instruments Multimode VIII AFM with
a Nanoscope IV controller. All AFM micrographs were recorded with
a resolution of 512 lines and with a typical scanning speed of 1 Hz
on prepared silicon substrates (Si wafer chips, Agar Scientific Ltd.,
GB), which were submerged in a freshly prepared 3:1 mixture of H2SO4 (98%) and H2O2 (32%),
before washing with copious deionized water and drying at 120 °C.
All micrographs were processed using NanoScope Analysis v1.40 (R2Sr),
Bruker Corporation, US.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
