3D Nanoscale Imaging and Analysis
Veeco Dimension 3100 AFM
The Veeco AFM contacts the surfaces of samples using small probes ~10 nanometers across. Precise tracking of the probe’s position allows the system to measure sub-nanometer displacements of the probe tip.
By using special probes and/or optional sensors, it is possible to measure electrical, mechanical, magnetic or chemical properties of a sample at the same time and spatial resolution as the length data.

AFM is one of the most straightforward but information-rich analysis techniques available. Practically any type of material can be analyzed in air, in liquid, or – using a built-in gas purge – in a controlled ambient . Built-in and plug-in sensors allow for multiple additional measurement modes. Stage: Probe Holders: Files:
