MRI: Acquisition of Four-Probe MultiView 4000 AFM, NSOM, and SPM System

收购MultiView 4000TM多探头SPM系统将允许将两个或更多独立控制的SPM探头放置在相距纳米的位置，以实现各种多点测量。该仪器将支持五个专门的多学科研究轨道：微米和纳米尺度流体科学的基础研究，纳米流体界面热阻的测量，基于谐振器的生物和化学传感器，探测恶性疟原虫消化液泡的膜景观，以及使用MultiView 4000TM成像分枝杆菌生物膜。有了新的仪器，研究生和本科课程的研究将被整合到显微镜和微/纳米制造、电动和胶体传输现象、微/纳米流体学、微/纳米传热学、生物MEMS/NEMS器件设计、生物显微镜和生物工程的纳米技术等课程中。将最先进的仪器纳入本科和研究生课程和课程将吸引更多的学生学习科学和工程，并将使下一代获得微米和纳米尺度科学和工程新兴领域的基本知识和实践经验。

0922809QianAcquisition of the MultiView 4000TM multi-probe SPM system will allow two or more independently controlled SPM probes to be placed nanometers apart to enable a variety of multi point measurements. The instrument will support five specialized multi-disciplinary research tracks: fundamental research on micro- and nano-scale fluid sciences, measurement of the interface thermal resistance for nano-fluids, resonator-based biological and chemical sensors, probing the membrane landscape of the Plasmodium falciparum digestive vacuole, and imaging mycobacterial biofilms using the MultiView 4000TM. With the new instrumentation, integration of the research into graduate and undergraduate curriculum will be developed for courses in Microscopy and Micro/Nanofabrication, Electrokinetic and Colloidal Transport Phenomena, Micro/Nanofluidics, Micro/Nano Heat Transfer, Design of BioMEMS/NEMS Devices, Biological Microscopy, and Nanotechnology for Bioengineering.Incorporation of the state-of-the-art instrumentation into undergraduate and graduate curricula and courses will attract more students to science and engineering, and will allow the next generation to gain the basic knowledge and hands-on experience in the emerging areas of micro- and nano-scale science and engineering.
