MFP-3D-BIO AFM

Uncompromised AFM performance integrated with optical microscopy

• Illuminate or view with built-in top-down optics
• Real-time optical navigation
• High-quality objective allows easy viewing of opaque samples, laser alignment, and can be used as a condenser for brightfield or phase contrast illumination on transparent samples
• Powerful real-time and offline rendering options including optical and AFM image overlays
• Supports numerous optical techniques such as Brightfield, Phase Contrast, Epifluorescence, Confocal Microscopy, TIRF, FRET, FCS, FRAP, Ion Indicators (e.g. Ca2+ response)
  
  

Simple, high-resolution imaging in liquid on soft biological samples

• Numerous environmental accessories for temperature control and simplifying imaging in liquid
• Controlled gas or liquid environment options that are simple, safe and effective
• SmartStart™ automatically detects and configures system components to get results quickly
• ModeMaster™ automatically configures software for selected mode
• GetReal™ automatically calibrates the cantilever spring constant and sensitivity

Performance leadership in force spectroscopy and force mechanics

• Thermally-limited force resolution (<8 pm deflection noise tyical, <20 pm guaranteed)
• Large Z range (15 µm standard, 40 µm extended Z option) accommodates demanding applications such as cell-cell and cell-substrate adhesion measurements
• Choose between open-loop force curves with sensored Z for the ultimate in low noise performance or closed-loop Z for the most accurate velocity control
• Force Mapping measures force-distance curves at a grid of points with automated fitting of indentation models for estimation of elastic modulus and automated adhesion/rupture force analysis
