Environmental options:

  • Liquid- regular
  • Liquid- perfusion
  • Humidity controlled
  • Heating (Room temperature to 250℃)
  • Cooling-heating (0~120℃)

Imaging mode:

  • Contact topography (Lateral Force Mode)
  • Tapping Mode with Q-control
  • BlueDrive™ – High speed imaging 10x-20x faster
  • Force Modulation
  • Frequency Modulation
  • Phase imaging
  • Force Curve Mode
  • Fast Force Mapping (Force volume)
  • Bimodal Dual AC™
  • Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM)
  • Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM)
  • Scanning Kelvin Probe Microscopy (SKPM)
  • MicroAngelo™ (Nanolithography and nanomanipulation)
  • Electrochemical AFM (EC-AFM)
  • AM-FM Viscoelastic Mapping Mode
  • AM-FM/Loss Tangent
