Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SCM) is Used for Nanoelectrical Technique in Semiconductor R&D and Failure Analysis
The “capacitance” in SCM has been missing from previous generation SCM modules. Conventional SCM can only measure differential capacitance (dC/dV) and not the actual capacitance signal, which makes it more complicated to interpret. The new SCM module from Asylum Research changes that with a capacitance channel that is linearly correlated with dopant levels.

New Perspectives with Multimodal DHM® by Lyncée Tec
Digital holographic microscopy (DHM®) offers solutions for static and dynamic 3D characterization in material science and life science applications. When used in quantitative phase imaging (QPI) DHM offers label-free measurement of cell morphology and dry mass, two unique biomarkers for a cell's physiological state. Fluorescence adds the specificity associated with the labeling of targeted cellular components or molecules. Minimize cell damage linked with fluorescent markers, phototoxicity, and bleaching by combining DHM with QPI.
