Low-loss scanning electron microscopy can be used to investigate the surface topography of solid specimens and provides enhanced image contrast over secondary electron images. A high resolution-condenser objective lens has allowed the low-loss technique to resolve separations of Au nucleii of 50Å and smaller dimensions of 25Å in samples coated with a fine grained carbon-Au-palladium layer. An estimate of the surface topography of fine grained vapor deposited materials (20 - 100Å) and the surface topography of underlying single crystal Si in the 1000 - 2000Å range has also been investigated. Surface imaging has also been performed on single crystals using diffracted electrons scattered through 10−2 rad in a conventional TEM. However, severe tilting of the specimen is required which degrades the resolution 15 to 100 fold due to image forshortening.

Abstract A contact probing system for surface imaging and real-time signal measurement of deep sub-micron integrated circuits is discussed. The probe fits on a standard probe-station and utilizes a conductive atomic force microscope tip to rapidly measure the surface topography and acquire real-time highfrequency signals from features as small as 0.18 micron. The micromachined probe structure minimizes parasitic coupling and the probe achieves a bandwidth greater than 3 GHz, with a capacitive loading of less than 120 fF. High-resolution images of submicron structures and waveforms acquired from high-speed devices are presented.

AbstractWe intend to analyze the reliability of surface imaging of stars based on high resolution spectroscopy and the technique of inverse problem solution. Both astrophysical and mathematical aspects including different regularization methods are reviewed. The influence of the different factors on the resulting map is discussed and it is shown that the simultaneous use of different kinds of observational data (spectroscopy, photometry, polarimetry etc.) is very useful in providing additional constraints for the solution. The recent results in the surface imaging of Cp- and late-type stars show the way for further progress: the use of more adequate mathematical description of the stellar atmosphere and the simultaneous consideration of various surface inhomogeneities.

AbstractWe apply the surface imaging technique to high-resolution spectra of the rapidly rotating β Cep-type star ω1 Sco. Assuming only temperature fluctuations due to pulsations, we obtain a map of the surface corotating with the dominant pulsation mode. Prom the map we identify the dominant mode and find traces of a second pulsation mode. We conclude that the traditional surface imaging technique can be successfully used for mapping stellar non-radial pulsations.
