Ultra-sharp metal and nanotube-based probes for applications in scanning microscopy and neural recording.
Abstract
This paper discusses several methods for manufacturing ultra-sharp probes, with applications
geared toward, but not limited to, scanning microscopy (STM, AFM) and intra-cellular
recordings of neural signals. We present recipes for making tungsten, platinum/iridium
alloy, and nanotube fibril tips. Electrical isolation methods using Parylene-C or
PMMA are described.

Our broad research goal is to understand the neural mechanisms by which experience
guides learning, behavior, and perception. Our group explores the structure and function
of sensorimotor circuits important to learned vocal communication in the songbird
and to auditory-motor integration in the mouse. In the course of these explorations,
my research group has developed a wide range of technical expertise in both avian
and mouse models, including in vivo multiphoton neuronal imaging, chronic recor
