Q&A with Session Speakers

(June 29, 2021)

       QUESTIONS FOR AARON ELBOURNE, PH.D.

  • [00:00:10] How were you able to isolate the virus and what AFM mode & cantilevers were used?
  • [00:02:42] Did you check the loading rate of the bonding maturation during the waiting times?
  • [00:03:21] Did you try different sized nanoparticles of silver or deposition methods?
  • [00:05:00] Do you use the same cantilevers and coating to study bacteria as you use for viruses?
  • [00:05:52] What type of cantilevers do you use?
  • [00:06:38] What is ATR-FTIR's lateral resolution?
  • [00:08:12] Would your experiments also work with gold-coated substrates?

       QUESTIONS FOR NATALIA PIERGIES, PH.D.

  • [00:07:22] What resolution are you typically able to achieve with Tapping AFM-IR?
  • [00:08:45] What is the wavelength range of the laser that you use for nanoscle infrared measurements? In principle, what is the potential achievable wavelength range?
  • [00:10:42] To clarify: There are laser sources available that cover the entire mid-infrared region for both traditional contact-mode AFM-IR and Tapping AFM-IR?

       QUESTIONS FOR BOTH SPEAKERS

  • [00:11:19] What are the depth limits of AFM and AFM-IR techniques? How do you navigate these limits in your research?
  • [00:15:18] A note about the achievable depth and capabilities of our new AFM-IR mode -- Surface Sensitive AFM-IR
  • [00:16:04] How do you prepare the samples for your experiments in liquid?
