Nanosurf CoreAFM atomic force microscope

Nanosurf’s CoreAFM is a compact research atomic force microscope that offers a combination of functionality and simplicity by integrating the key components of atomic force microscopy (AFM) to realise versatility and user-friendliness. It consists of a modern flexure-guided scanner, XYZ sample stage, camera, active vibration isolation table and air-flow protection in a single all-in-one unit, resulting in a complete AFM system for applications ranging from materials research to physics, life science and electrochemistry.

All the essential functions of modern AFM are integral components of the system. For a fully operational device, simply connect the controller, power and USB. It features powerful performance and versatile electronics with 24-bit ADC and DAC, resulting in high-resolution XYZ driving of the 100 x 100 x 12 μm scanner and allowing for low-noise force detection limited only by the cantilever.

The product can be used standalone or in a large-stage operation. It has easy and quick cantilever exchange and alignment, which is said to reduce downtime and enable automated batch measurements and a scripting interface for system integration.
