REPORT 297 A ON THE COVER. Scanning force microscopies
Simple, low-maintenance instrumentation that can be used to image at the microscopic and nanoscopic level in a variety of environments has made this relatively young technology popular among analysts. Bruce A. Parkinson and Darrell R. Louder of Colorado State University describe the evolution of the scanning force microscope and its application to problems in chemistry, physics, and biology.

Supercritical fluid extraction offers researchers the chance to examine extraction parameters that were often too difficult to determine with classical liquid extraction. Mary Ellen P. McNally of E. I. du Pont de Nemours and Co. presents an overview of the current theoretical understanding of SFE and predicts the directions of future work.
