Abstract

See full text

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 n3; the planar support comprises a transparent substrate of refractive index n0>n3 on 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 λ through the substrate; and the visual control comprises the lighting of the micro- or nano-object at least with the wavelength λ 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.
