    Abstract: The present invention provides sensors based on micromachined ultrasonic transducer technology. The sensors preferably include a plurality of sensor elements, but may include only one sensor element. Arrays of sensors are also provided. Sensor elements include a functionalized membrane supported over a substrate by a support frame. The functionalized membrane, support frame and substrate together form a vacuum gap. The sensor element is connected to an electrical circuit, which is configured to operate the sensor element at or near an open circuit resonance condition. The mechanical resonance frequency of the functionalized membrane is responsive to binding of an agent to the membrane. Thus, the sensor element also includes a detector, where the detector provides a sensor output responsive to the mechanical resonance frequency of the sensor element.

    Abstract: The invention relates to molecules which can be attached to a substrate (4) and switched between different stable or metastable conformations (18, 19). At least one of these conformations (19) is generated and/or stabilized by the proximity of the substrate (4). The invention further relates to a layered medium comprising such molecules and to a method to switch such molecules in a controlled way. The layered medium is usable as resists for lithographic application, data storage media, and promoter of electron transfer between two media. The method is usable to generate and interrogate patterns in the layered medium.

    Abstract: An Auger electron microscope is equipped with a field-emission tip maintained at an essentially constant distance above the surface of the specimen. The tip may consist of a tungsten (100) whisker having a radius of .about.50 nm at the apex, the working distance being on the order of 1 mm. Auger electrons emitted from the surface of the specimen are collected by an electron energy analyzer for conventional processing. Mutual scanning displacement between the tip and specimen is obtained through use of an xyz-drive module, which is also responsible for adjusting the working distance of the tip. The entire microscope setup is mounted on vibration damping means and may be inserted into a vacuum system by means of an appropriate flange, if desired.
