Instrumental Methods

Spectroscopy measures the interaction of the molecules with electromagnetic radiation.

Mass spectrometry measures mass-to-charge ratio of molecules using electric and magnetic fields.

Electroanalytical methods measure the potential (volts) and/or current (amps) in an electrochemical cell containing the analyte.

Calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis measure the interaction of a material and heat.

Separation processes (chromatography, electrophoresis) are used to decrease the complexity of material mixtures.

Microscopy is the technical field of using microscopes to view objects that cannot be seen with the unaided eye.

An optical spectrometer is an instrument used to measure properties of light over a specific portion of the electromagnetic spectrum, typically used in spectroscopic analysis to identify materials. The variable measured is most often the light intensity but could also, for instance, be the polarization state. The independent variable is usually the wavelength of the light or a unit directly proportional to the photon energy, such as wave number or electron volts, which has a reciprocal relationship to wavelength. A spectrometer is used in spectroscopy for producing spectral lines and measuring their wavelengths and intensities. Spectrometer is a term that is applied to instruments that operate over a very wide range of wavelengths, from gamma rays and X-rays into the far infrared rays. The majority of spectrophotomers are used in spectral regions near the visible spectrum.

7. Read and translate the text into the English language using the diagrams of atomic force microscope

Атомно-силовой микроскоп (АСМ) – это сканирующий зондовый микроскоп высокого разрешения. Принцип работы АСМ основан на регистрации силового взаимодействия между поверхностью исследуемого образца и зондом. В качестве зонда используется наноразмерное остриё, располагающееся на конце упругой консоли, называемой кантилевером. Сила, действующая на зонд со стороны поверхности, приводит к изгибу консоли. Появление возвышенностей или впадин под остриём приводит к изменению силы, действующей на зонд, а, значит, и изменению величины изгиба кантилевера. Таким образом, регистрируя величину изгиба, можно сделать вывод о рельефе поверхности.
