A unifying theme of this thesis is the implementation and characterization of point probes for surface metrology. The implementations include two optical non-contact prof[...]

A need for dynamic micro-particle manipulation is the ability to position fragile particles without damaging them, for instance biological particles like blood cells, ste[...]

The motivation for development of a multi-probe scanning microscope, presented in this dissertation, is to provide a versatile measurement tool mainly targeted for biolog[...]
