Key Features 


Exposed Tip

 pic2

Provides complete optical access from above and below for full integration with optical microscopes, Raman spectrometers, FTIR spectrometer and other optical modalities.

Nanonics AFM

OPTICAL AND SPECTRAL TRANSPARENCY

AFM Probe is made from fused silica which do not have optical and Raman signature and thus prevent any the optical interference in combined AFM/Raman, AFM/Confocal measurements

HIGH ASPECT RATIO

pic5

The high aspect ratio probes with small opening angle enables scanning of deep trench structures and side walls.

pic7

pic9

MULTIPROBE CAPABILITIES

pic20

Cantilevered shape and exposed tip enable to bring the tips of two probes in AFM feedback within nanometric distance one to another.

DEEP TRENCH IMAGING

pic7

Trench profiling is a must for FIB etching for monitoring quality of the etching. Standard AFM systems fail in profiling deep trenches due to limitations of Z range and tip aspect ratio. Nanonics SPM systems provide large Z range of up to 170 microns and cantilevered glass probes with high aspect ratio.

pic9Side Wall Imaging

Cantilevered and straight nanopipette probes can be filled with fluorescent materials. These active light sources can be provided with a variety of sensing capabilities. Sensors are currently available for H+, Na+, K+, Ca2+ and Cl-, other sensors are also available upon request.
