| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 6677567 | Scanning probe microscope with improved scan accuracy, scan speed, and optical vision A scanning probe microscope uses two different scanners (also called "scanning stages") that are completely detached each from the other, and are physically separated by a stationary frame. One scanner (called "x-y scanner") scans a sample in a plane (als... | 01/13/2004 |
| 6649902 | Summing the output of an array of optical detector segments in an atomic force microscope A high sensitivity beam deflection sensing optical device, such as an atomic force microscope, including one or more of the following: specified means in the path of the incident beam for adjusting the size and/or power of the incident beam spot, means fo... | 11/18/2003 |
| 6642517 | Method and apparatus for atomic force microscopy A method of scanning probe microscopy includes using a cantilever having a planar body, generally opposed first and second ends, and a tip disposed generally adjacent the second end and extending downwardly towards a surface of a sample. Preferably, the s... | 11/04/2003 |
| 6246652 | Device using sensor for small rotation angle A recording and reproducing or observing apparatus based on a laser beam deflection detection method in which an object has a very small area for reflecting light. A laser beam emitted by a semiconductor laser diode passes through a collimator lens and a ... | 06/12/2001 |
| 6239426 | Scanning probe and scanning probe microscope An easy to use scanning probe instrument such as a microscope or memory device is provided with a probe which does not require optical alignment. The scanning probe is a cantilever probe adapted to undergo relative movement with respect to an object such ... | 05/29/2001 |
