Scope
The effects of surface topography on properties occur across all length scales, from the macro, through the micro and even the nanoscale. In order to properly assess surfaces at smaller scales, microscopy is one of the most powerful family of techniques in the researcher’s arsenal. Optical, electron, probe and other microscope technologies can all be employed, as can supporting techniques that can be used to maximise microscopy’s effectiveness in characterising surfaces.
This special issue aims to highlight microscopy’s potential across disciplines and techniques. It will address the application of microscopy to engineered and to biological surfaces, in industry and in academia. Looking at current challenges, solutions and applications it will represent a significant resource for researchers in this area.
