Equipment

The Ntegra II is a highly modular scanning probe microscope (SPM) that boasts many imaging and point measurement modes. It is a great tool for anything from topography measurements to custom-environment, tailored experiments. Housed in a temperature and vibration stabilized enclosure, the microscope can easily produce sub-nanometer precision.

Ntegra II Features:

  • Maximum scan area of 100um x 100um x 10um (X Y Z)
  • Signal breakout box (output/input any electrical signal created/used by the microscope)
  • Heating/cooling stage -30C to +120C
  • Sealed liquid cell (image in aqueous environment)
  • Scanning probe (large samples or liquid environment)

Ntegra II Analysis Modes:

  • Sample topography imaging
    • Tapping Semi-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy
    • Tapping Non-Contact Atomic Force Microscopy
    • Contact Atomic Force Microscopy
  • Mechanical property imaging
