This manuscript is a non-peer reviewed, invited tutorial for Microscopy Today. It describes the issues involved in choosing a cantilever for atomic force
The National Institute of Standards and Technology has developed a contact micrometer for accurate measurement of optical-fiber outer diameter. The contact
A recurring theme in Internet network traffic analysis is that most observed data show characteristics of a long (heavy) right-tail distribution taking on
