The SmartSPM 1000 Scanning Probe Microscope is the first 100% automated system that offers its cutting-edge technology of ultra-fast, metrological and high resolution measurements for the most advanced materials research at the nano scale in all AFM and STM modes.
Automation of operation / Ease of use
- Fully automated laser to photodiode alignment (no user click-on-spot is required!).
- Exchanging probes has never been so easy before!
- Fully automated configuration for the most common AFM modes.
- Extremely fast system adjustment before starting measurements!
Resolution / Stability / Accuracy
- One single 100um scanner gets large scans as well as goes down to molecular or atomic resolution.
- No vibration isolation is required for standard measurements.
- The lowest noise closed loop sensors make it possible to have them on even during molecular resolution imaging and get the most accurate results.
Fast scanning
- Scanner resonant frequencies >7kHz in XY and >15kHz in Z are the highest in the AFM industry today.
- Optimized scanner control algorithms makes it possible to scan much faster than ever before!
All SPM modes included plus Nanolithography with no additional units and costs.
- Kelvin Probe Microscopy, Piezoresponse Force Microscopy, Nanolithography and Nanomanipulation are all included in the basic package!
Flexibility to upgrade to AFM-Raman
- The SmartSPM was designed from the ground up for easy and appropriate coupling with Raman systems!
