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
  • GetStarted™ automatically sets optimal parameters for tapping mode imaging

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
