Imaging modes

•  Contact mode
•  Tapping mode
•  True non-contact mode (recommended for soft samples and minimal tip wear)
•  Many other modes are available to measure electrical, mechanical, magnetic, thermal properties, and forces.

System features

•  Enclosed in an acoustic hood and vibration isolation table.
•  Independent XY scanner for sample positioning, decoupled from the Z scanner feedback loop, improving accuracy in nano resolution.
•  XY scan range: 50 µm × 50 µm
•  Z scan range: 15 µm
•  Sample size: recommended ≤50 × 50 mm, max thickness 20 mm
•  Motorized XY stage (20 mm × 20 mm, 0.6 µm steps) and motorized Z stage (25 mm travel, 0.08 µm steps)
•  Magnetic sample holder
•  Currently used only for imaging dry samples
