Abstract
Two scanning electron microscopy (SEM) based devices for positioning, manipulation and imaging at the nano-scale have been developed. The control and vision system is based on both a commercial scanning probe microscopy (SPM) controller and a client-server approach to ensure that nanopositioning and SEM image processing are executed in real-time. The evaluation of the two devices has been performed by implementing three different applications: (i) attachment of carbon nanotubes on SPM tips, (ii) investigation of mechanical properties of nanowires and (iii) tensile strength measurements for focused electron beam deposits.
