Nanosurf extends its easyScan 2 product line with the FlexAFM. With its electromagnetically actuated, flexure-based XY-scanner technology combined with a piezo-based Z-scanner, the FlexAFM offers highly linear, ultra-flat, and fast scanning performance, while at
the same time providing Lateral Force and liquid measurement capabilities to its users.
Nanosurf's
renowned "ease of use" has been implemented consistently in the new
FlexAFM
scan head. The result is the most versatile and flexible AFM ever. Whether you
want to operate the FlexAFM
in air or in liquid environments, it makes no difference to you as a user. This
is true flexibility!
System setup and operation have remained simple and straightforward. Hook up
the scan head to the easyScan 2 controller, connect the USB cable to your computer,
start the software, and you’re ready to go — in minutes!
The FlexAFM
sample stage provides an easy way to positionand approach samples of various
thickness and type. Even samples in liquid containers, such as standard Petri
dishes, fit on the sample stage and can be accessed by the FlexAFM
without any hassle. At the same time, three leveling screws on the FlexAFM
scan head maintain the scan head’s capability to perform stand-alone measurements
without sample stage.
The heart of the FlexAFM
system, the "Liquid Ready" easyScan 2 controller, is as affordable
and individually configurable as ever. All easyScan 2 modules and options (including
previous easyScan 2 AFM and STM scan heads) are fully compatible, conferring
even more versatility to your FlexAFM
system.
