46 Visualization and Natural Control Systems for Microscopy (original) (raw)

This chapter discusses the development of advanced visualization and control systems for microscopy, emphasizing the work by the Nanoscale Science Research Group (NSRG) at the University of North Carolina. Four systems are highlighted: the nanoManipulator, Nanometer Imaging and Manipulation System (NIMS), 3-Dimensional Force Microscope (3DFM), and the forthcoming Keck Atomic Imaging and Manipulation System (AIMS). Each system aims to enhance the ability of scientists to interact with nanoscale objects through intuitive interfaces, facilitating groundbreaking scientific experiments in nanotechnology and related fields.
