Keywords: Quantum Dots (9026778117).jpg Much like in an old tube television where a beam of electrons moves over a phosphor screen to create images the new microscopy technique works by scanning a beam of electrons over a sample that has been coated with specially engineered quantum dots The dots absorb the energy and emit it as visible light that interacts with the sample at close range The scattered photons are collected using a similarly closely placed photodetector not depicted allowing an image to be constructed See also http //www nist gov/cnst/dots-061213 cfm www nist gov/cnst/dots-061213 cfm Credit Dill/NIST Disclaimer Any mention of commercial products within NIST web pages is for information only; it does not imply recommendation or endorsement by NIST Use of NIST Information These World Wide Web pages are provided as a public service by the National Institute of Standards and Technology NIST With the exception of material marked as copyrighted information presented on these pages is considered public information and may be distributed or copied Use of appropriate byline/photo/image credits is requested https //www flickr com/photos/usnistgov/9026778117/ Quantum Dots 2013-06-12 15 58 https //www flickr com/people/63059536 N06 National Institute of Standards and Technology PD-USGov National Institute of Standards and Technology https //flickr com/photos/63059536 N06/9026778117 2016-09-07 01 54 53 United States Government Work Uncategorized 2016 November 5 |
