Start the AFM Software by selecting the Asylum Research Icon. Select the profile to be used: AC Air Topography is tapping mode. Sign into the Log Book on the Set Up Bench. DO NOT touch the underside ...

Although all of the components are complicated and very involved in their own way, the stage and control electronics are really what make the AFM what it is. The stage encompasses the main parts of ...

The reflected laser beam hits a position-sensitive photo-detector revealing the angular deflections of the cantilever. Although the lateral resolution of AFM is relatively low compared to other ...

Schematic illustration of Friction Force Microscopy (FFM). The AFM cantilever, a small diving board-like structure about 200 micrometers long, 50 micrometers wide, and 1 micrometer thick, has a sharp ...

It provides high-resolution sample survey, accurate cantilever alignment, and exceptional optical access. A proprietary AFM objective allows simultaneous cantilever and sample observation The alpha300 ...
