The use of the scanning electrochemical microscopy to predict the corrosion resistance results which would be obtained for a surface S1 having undergone an anticorrosion treatment if the surface S1 was subjected to a salt fog corrosion test, which use comprises an analysis of the surface S1 by scanning electrochemical microscopy.

Use of scanning electrochemical microscopy as a predictive technique in a salt fog corrosion test

The invention relates to the field of localized surface analysis, characterization and modification by electrochemistry. It particularly relates to a portable electrochemical microscopy device, to kits comprising such a portable device, and to uses of the portable device and kits. According to the invention, the portable device comprises: a body having a gripping surface for a user and a bearing surface that can be applied to a surface of a substrate to be analyzed; an electrolytic chamber formed in the body and arranged so as to receive an electrolyte, the electrolytic chamber comprising an opening leading to the bearing surface; and a working probe having a distal end arranged in the electrolytic chamber.

Portable electrochemical microscopy device, kits comprising same and uses thereof

A contrast-amplifying carrier for observing a sample, includes a transparent substrate bearing at least one absorbent coating suitable for behaving as an antireflection coating when it is illuminated at normal incidence at an illumination wavelength &#x3bb; through the substrate and when the face of the coating opposite the substrate is in contact with a medium referred to as a transparent ambient medium, the refractive index nof which is lower than that of the refractive index nof the substrate. The absorbent coating comprises: an absorbent sublayer referred to as the contrast sublayer, deposited on the surface of the transparent substrate; and an absorbent layer referred to as the sensitive layer, distinct from the contrast sublayer and comprising between 1 and 5 sheets of a graphene-type material. Methods for producing and for using such a contrast-amplifying carrier are also provided.

Contrast-amplifying carriers using a two-dimensional material

A method is provided for positioning a micro- or nano-object on a planar support by displacement performed under visual control, wherein the micro- or nano-object is immersed in a transparent medium, called ambient medium, having a refractive index n; the planar support comprises a transparent substrate of refractive index n&#x3e;non which is deposited at least one optically absorbent layer, adapted to behave as antireflection coating when it is lit at normal incidence with a lighting wavelength &#x3bb; through the substrate; and the visual control comprises the lighting of the micro- or nano-object at least with the wavelength &#x3bb; through the substrate, and the observation thereof also through the substrate. A method to scanning probe microscopy and to the assembly of nanostructures is provided.
