Materials Characterization

This class describes equipment that provides generic techniques to characterize samples, materials or specimens. The defining characteristic is that these items of equipment could equally be applied to a portion of the sample or specimen as to the whole.

NANOSCOPE IIIA MICROSCOPE

Inventory Classification
  • Materials Characterization
  • Surface Probe Microscopy
  • Atomic Force

The atomic force microscope or scanning probe microscope is used to image the surface of a material from nanometer to atomic scale. This is accomplished by scanning the surface with a fine tip attached to a cantilever in contact or tapping mode. Lasers are used to measure the cantilever deflection during scanning. The AFM can also be used to map magnetic domains and conduct phase imaging on a material surface.

Nanosurf EasyScan 2 Basic

Inventory Classification
  • Materials Characterization
  • Surface Probe Microscopy
  • Atomic Force

The EasyScan 2 Basic Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) Package masters topography imaging, force spectroscopy and lithography in Static Force mode — the fundamental functions for surface measurement and modification. Along with its easy handling and positioning, and its capability of measuring on nearly any sample size and geometry, these features make this the ideal package for use in all entry level situations. Give students an EasyScan 2 Basic AFM Package, and they will learn about surface roughness, interatomic forces, hardness, and feedback loops.
