The Robey-Peters Gun-Carrier was a British three-seater armed tractor biplane designed and built by Robey & Company Limited at Bracebridge Heath, Lincoln for the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS).[1]

The gun-carrier was a single-engined three-bay biplane powered by a 250 hp (186 kW) Rolls-Royce engine.[1][2] The Gun-Carrier had a gondola on each of the upper wings to carry a Davis gun (a form of recoilless rifle) and a gunner, while the pilot sat alone in a cockpit in the rear fuselage, just forward of the aircraft's tail. He was provided with windows in the sides of the cockpit to improve the extremely poor view caused by the cockpit's location.[2] Two were ordered for the RNAS in May 1916 but the first aircraft (serial number 9498) crashed on its maiden flight from Bracebridge Heath in May 1917.[1] The second aircraft was not completed and no others were built.[1]

The technique of vibrational analysis with scanning probe microscopy allows probing vibrational properties of materials at the submicrometer scale, and even of individual molecules.[1][2][3] This is accomplished by integrating scanning probe microscopy (SPM) and vibrational spectroscopy (Raman scattering or/and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FTIR). This combination allows for much higher spatial resolution than can be achieved with conventional Raman/FTIR in...
