Electro microscopy and electro tomography performing method for e.g. three-dimensional mapping of resistance, involves using electrical characteristics of sample to obtain image of sample with specific structural resolution

摘要

The method involves bringing a sample i.e. biological tissue, in contact with a probe, which has an array (105) of a number of probe wires (101) having diameter of less than 10 nanometers in the place of the contact with the sample. Electrical characteristics of the sample between a large number of probe wires are measured and used to obtain two or three dimensional image of the sample with a structural resolution in two dimensions of less than 20 nanometers. The probe wires are fused in proximity of the sample in a non conductive matrix. An independent claim is also included for a device for performing electro microscopy and electro tomography on a sample.
