| System Overview |  |
| The Multimode AFM consists of a Base (B), a Scanner (S), and an optical head (H). |  |
| OMV video microscope, shown with MultiMode AFM in place (M). The magnification is approximately 450x on the 13-inch Sony monitor. |  |
| Vertical Engage "E" Scanner - Model EV (nominal scan range: 10x10um XY, 2um Z) Vertical engage scanners make your work easier and faster. It is faster and more secure to adjust for differences in sample thickness. With a top view optical microscope, you can target a specific area and engage the probe tip at that spot. Model JV (nominal range: 125x125um XY, 5um Z) looks the same. It has a longer piezo crystal in the same housing. |
