This is the most state of art AFM in SAC. The instrument can provide controlled gas/liquid/humidity environment. It’s also capable of heating (250 ℃), cooling-heating (0~120℃) and high voltage (+/- 220V).

Environmental options:

• Liquid- regular
• Liquid- perfusion
• Humidity controlled
• Heating (Room temperature to 250℃)
• Cooling-heating (0~120℃)

Imaging mode:

• Contact topography (Lateral Force Mode)
• Tapping Mode with Q-control
• BlueDrive™ – High speed imaging 10x-20x faster
• Force Modulation
• Frequency Modulation
• Phase imaging
• Force Curve Mode
• Fast Force Mapping (Force volume)
• Bimodal Dual AC™
• Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM)
• Electrostatic Force Microscopy (EFM)
• Scanning Kelvin Probe Microscopy (SKPM)
• MicroAngelo™ (Nanolithography and nanomanipulation)
• Electrochemical AFM (EC-AFM)
• AM-FM Viscoelastic Mapping Mode
• AM-FM/Loss Tangent
• Conductive AFM
• Dual gain ORCA™
• Piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM)

If you plan to bring external materials into the lab, please notify the FabLab staff to ensure proper safety protocols and any equipment arrangements can be made ahead of your reservation. Please submit an External Materials Request form for each material you will bring.
