XE-Bio
is a powerful 3-in-1 nanoscience research tool that uniquely combines industry's
only True Non-Contact AFM with Ion Conductance Microscopy (ICM) and inverted
optical microscope on the same platform. The modular design of the XE-Bio
allows easy exchange between non-contact AFM and ICM. Designed for non-invasive
in-liquid imaging, the combined imaging capability of AFM, ICM, and inverted
optical microscopy makes the XE-Bio
ideal for imaging biological samples, such as living cells, in dynamic conditions.
Moreover, ICM can be adapted to enable a host of powerful applications in nanoscale
electrophysiology.
