When using oscilloscopes, we tend to focus so much on the instrument and its features, we tend to forget that choosing the right probe and using it properly can be just as important. It all starts ...

Cross-pollination between different industries can yield interesting innovations, and a few years ago [John Wiltrout] developed some non-slip meter probe adapters. He recently used our tips line to ...

Recently, an EDN reader asked “Why do oscilloscope manufacturers put amplifiers on their probe tips rather than in the oscilloscope?” Placing the amplifier in the probe minimizes signal losses in the ...

One of the most basic tools for tinkering with electronics is a multimeter. Today, even a cheap meter has capabilities that would have been either very expensive or unobtainable back in the 1970s.

Scientists in Germany have improved a fabrication process for atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe tips. Atomic Force Microscopy is able to scan surfaces so that even tiniest nano structures become ...

FREMONT, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 9, 2005--JEM America, a subsidiary of Japan Electronic Materials Corporation (JEM), has introduced a new series of probe cards aimed at the advanced packaging ...

The impact of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) over the past 20 years has been dramatic: its invention was, for example, recently rated the second most important advance in materials science of the ...
