S. Brooks McLane co-invented the Atom-Probe Field Ion Microscope
in 1967 along with J.A. Panitz and Erwin Wilhelm Müller
. An electronics specialist and Professor of Physics, he co-authored the seminal "Field Absorption and desorption of helium and neon" that appeared in Surface Science in 1969. Between 1964 and 1986 he also co-wrote 8 separate articles in his field that appeared in the American Institute of Physics' Review of Scientific Instruments.
Atom probe
The atom probe is a microscope used in material science that was invented in 1967 by Erwin Wilhelm Müller, J. A. Panitz, and S. Brooks McLane. The atom probe is closely related to the method of Field Ion Microscopy, which is the first microscopic method to achieve atomic resolution, occurring in...
