Scanning Scattering Microscope: A Novel Optical Technique for Imaging Surface Microtopography

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The Scanning Scattering Microscope (SSM) [1] can produce two-dimensional, high resolution micrographs of very small surface features and surface microtopography; this optical technique is very sensitive to surface roughness, surface and near-surface damage, and individual surface defects. Its present lateral resolution of about 5 μm is augmented by an extremely high sensitivity to surface roughness of about 2 nm.
