JPK Instruments, a manufacturer of nanoanalytic instrumentation in life sciences and soft matter, offers a broad range of accessories for scanning probe microscopy (SPM) researchers.
Working in SPM, a researcher may start with a basic system such as an atomic force microscope.
They may then add from a menu of operation modes to enable the study of specific sample properties, such as mechanical, electrical or electrochemical.
JPK offers a central platform known as the Nanowizard AFM.
Its BioAFM head is now complemented by optional heads such as the Cellhesion 200 and Forcerobot 300.
For further details of the Nanowizard and its applications, visit the JPK website, where the 2010 accessories handbook can be downloaded as a PDF.
