His current research interests focus on polymer liquid crystals, fluidic ionic diodes, and neuromorphic materials.
2-6: Nano Surfaces, Interfaces, and Advanced Nano Metrology
Dr. Toshihiko Ogura, AIST, Japan Paper Title Nanoscale observation of materials and biological samples in liquid by scanning electron assisted dielectric microscopy Short Biography Nanoscale imaging of nanoparticles in solution and analysis of their dispersion characteristics and composition are important for the development of highly functional materials. We recently developed a new imaging system called a scanning-electron assisted dielectric microscopy (SE-ADM) based on SEM. Our system provides high-contrast imaging of the unstained biological specimens in water using newly developed atmospheric sample holders. Here, we focused on the observation of materials and biological nanoparticles using our SE-ADM system. Our system can be applied to diverse liquid samples across broad range of scientific fields, for example, nanotubes and other organic materials.
