The Nanonics patented 3D Flat Scanner, with its free optical access, is an ideal stage for tip scanning.
Therefore the scanner can be easily adapted to awkwardly sized and large samples.
The customer can determine the dimensions and specifications to suit their individual needs.

NSOM and SPM Heads for Attachment to Custom Sample Stages  Tip scanning Large sample stage Customer-specified stage sizes and accuracies Integrate Alpha Step, AFM, and optical information Large scan range up to 70micron in the XY plane Z scanning up to 70 micron

Side view of large sample stage. Due to the small dimensions of the 3D Flat Scanner  used in the tip scanning mechanism, this system can be easily fitted under the objective of standard optical microscopes.
