JPK Instruments has launched the Nanowizard 3 Nanoscience AFM system, which is designed to provide optimum imaging in air and liquid for single molecules, polymers and nanomaterials.
The tip-scanning head equipped with a flexure scanner offers high flexibility for a range of different samples, the company said.
In particular, large sample size scanning is possible.
The flexibility and modularity of the design, coupled with a range of operation modes and accessories from electrochemistry to the tip-assisted optics module, makes this a suitable platform for multiple users and applications.
At the centre of the new system is Hyperdrive, a super-resolution AFM imaging technique.
With low tip-sample interactions, samples are never damaged.
It is available with the Nanowizard 3 AFM head and Vortis high-bandwidth, low-noise control electronics.
The system is stable to drift and has the ability to detect the smallest cantilever deflections.
This digital controller has been built with flexible operation for the user in mind.
The Nanowizard 3 is designed for optimal use in liquid and comes with a vapour barrier, encapsulated piezos and a variety of dedicated liquid cells for applications ranging from single-molecule experiments to corrosion in an electrochemical environment.
