A new and advanced plug-and-play retrofit solution is being offered by Nanosurf and Kleindiek. The combined functions of Scanning Electron Microscopes (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) open up a new level of possibilities.
SEMs are generally utilized for analytics in the nanometer and micrometer range, while AFM methods are used for exploring the characteristics and surfaces of different types of materials down to nanometer detail.
