    Notes: A new optical-lever based atomic force microscope is described in which the cantilever scans and is accurately tracked by a scanning focused spot. It can operate at forces below one nanoNewton over image areas greater than 100 μ×100 μ. It can be combined with optical microscopes of high numerical aperture and operated with the sample and cantilever in fluids. As examples of its applications, images of living cells in Petri dishes and a 6 in. (15.24 mm) silicon wafer are included.

    Notes: A tunneling microscope that is a hybrid between IBM Zurich designs and squeezable tunnel junctions has been operated in air, oil, and liquid nitrogen. Key design goals were (1) maximum rigidity and (2) minimum thermal drift. Images of individual atoms in a close packed layer have been obtained under liquid nitrogen.

    Notes: We have analyzed the structure of tilted superlattices on atomically stepped surfaces by using atomic force microscopy to detect ridges of GaAs formed by the selective oxidation and removal of intervening AlAs regions. Oxides were removed in a liquid cell of the atomic force microscope while scanning. We have demonstrated plan views which reveal the superlattice length and width uniformity, but the method is also in principle suited for cross-sectional samples.

    Notes: Images of graphite surfaces that are covered with oil reveal the hexagonal rings of carbon atoms. Images of a sodium chloride surface, protected from moisture by oil, exhibit a monoatomic step. Together, these images demonstrate the potential of atomic force microscopy (AFM) for studying both conducting and nonconducting surfaces, even surfaces covered with liquids. Our AFM uses a cross of double wires with an attached diamond stylus as a force sensor. The force constant is ≈40 N/m. The resonant frequency is ≈3 kHz. The lateral and vertical resolutions are 0.15 nm and 5 pm.

    Notes: In a new combined atomic force microscope/scanning electron microscope, we have been able to fabricate and test electron-beam-deposited tips (e-beam tips). With this instrument it was possible to test newly grown e-beam tips within a few minutes of their formation, without ever breaking vacuum. Typical results on oxide-sharpened conventional tips showed that the radius of curvature could be reduced by a factor of 2.5 with the e-beam tips.

    Notes: Force microscopy in liquids offers many advantages including the mitigation of capillary forces and the simulation of real environments for biological and technological processes. Noncontact force microscopy in liquids adds the advantage of probing electrical and magnetic fields above surfaces. Here we demonstrate magnetic force imaging of recorded bits on a computer hard disk in air and in liquid. A method of noncontact force microscopy (patent pending, Digital Instruments) is used in which the tip is first scanned in contact to image topography and then rescanned above the surface to image long-range forces.

    Notes: Leaf conductance often decreases in response to elevated atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca) potentially leading to changes in hydrology. We describe the hydrological responses of Florida scrub oak to elevated Ca during an eight-month period two years after Ca manipulation began. Whole-chamber gas exchange measurements revealed a consistent reduction in evapotranspiration in response to elevated Ca, despite an increase in leaf area index (LAI). Elevated Ca also increased surface soil water content, but xylem water deuterium measurements show that the dominant oaks in this system take up most of their water from the water table (which occurs at a depth of 1.5–3 m), suggesting that the water savings in elevated Ca in this system are primarily manifested as reduced water uptake at depth. Extrapolating these results to larger areas requires considering a number of processes that operate on scales beyond these accessible in this field experiment. Nevertheless, these results demonstrate the potential for reduced evapotranspiration and associated changes in hydrology in ecosystems dominated by woody vegetation in response to elevated Ca.

    Notes: Elevated atmospheric carbon dioxide (Ca) usually reduces stomatal conductance, but the effects on plant transpiration in the field are not well understood. Using constant-power sap flow gauges, we measured transpiration from Quercus myrtifolia Willd., the dominant species of the Florida scrub-oak ecosystem, which had been exposed in situ to elevated Ca (350 µmol mol−1 above ambient) in open-top chambers since May 1996. Elevated Ca reduced average transpiration per unit leaf area by 37%, 48% and 49% in March, May and October 2000, respectively. Temporarily reversing the Ca treatments showed that at least part of the reduction in transpiration was an immediate, reversible response to elevated Ca. However, there was also an apparent indirect effect of Ca on transpiration: when transpiration in all plants was measured under common Ca, transpiration in elevated Ca-grown plants was lower than that in plants grown in normal ambient Ca. Results from measurements of stomatal conductance (gs), leaf area index (LAI), canopy light interception and correlation between light and gs indicated that the direct, reversible Ca effect on transpiration was due to changes in gs caused by Ca, and the indirect effect was caused mainly by greater self-shading resulting from enhanced LAI, not from stomatal acclimation. By reducing light penetration through the canopy, the enhanced self-shading at elevated Ca decreased stomatal conductance and transpiration of leaves at the middle and bottom of canopy. This self-shading mechanism is likely to be important in ecosystems where LAI increases in response to elevated Ca.

    Notes: The long-term effects of elevated (ambient plus 350 μmol mol−1) atmospheric CO2 concentration (Ca) on the leaf senescence of Quercus myrtifolia Willd was studied in a scrub-oak community during the transition from autumn (December 1997) to spring (April 1998). Plants were grown in large open-top chambers at the Smithsonian CO2 Research Site, Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge, Cape Canaveral, Florida. Chlorophyll (a + b) concentration, Rubisco activity and N concentration decreased by 75%, 82%, and 52%, respectively, from December (1997) to April (1998) in the leaves grown at ambient Ca. In contrast, the leaves of plants grown at elevated Ca showed no significant decrease in chlorophyll (a + b) concentration or Rubisco activity, and only a 25% reduction in nitrogen. These results indicate that leaf senescence was delayed during this period at elevated Ca. Delayed leaf senescence in elevated Ca had important consequences for leaf photosynthesis. In elevated Ca the net photosynthetic rate of leaves that flushed in Spring 1997 (last year's leaves) and were 13 months old was not different from fully-expanded leaves that flushed in 1998, and were approximately 1 month old (current year's leaves). In ambient Ca the net photosynthetic rate of last year's leaves was 54% lower than for current year's leaves. When leaves were fully senesced, nitrogen concentration decreased to about 40% of the concentration in non-senesced leaves, in both CO2 treatments. In April, net photosynthesis was 97% greater in leaves grown in elevated Ca than in those grown at ambient. During the period when elevated Ca delayed leaf senescence, more leaves operating at higher photosynthetic rate would allow the ecosystem dominated by Q. myrtifolia to gain more carbon at elevated Ca than at ambient Ca.
