Demonstrations for scanning probe microscopy based on a macroscopic analogy
Original language description
This article describes two simple classroom demonstrations that illustrate the principles of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) based on a macroscopic analogy. The analogy features the bumps in an egg carton to represent the atoms on a chemical surface anda probe that can be represented by a dwarf statue (illustrating an origin of the prefix ?nano), a plastic bottle, or a glass. The demonstrations allow students to visualize certain physical aspects of SPM, such as probing ?hilly atoms on a surface usingchanges in distance between probe and atoms. Both demonstrations are appropriate to introduce SPM into high school or undergraduate science education.
