The ESPM 3D atomic force microscope is a high performance imaging and manipulation instrument for fields such as biology, biophysics, chemistry, and material science. It is optimized for integration with an inverted optical microscope, which allows the user to utilize a wide variety of concurrent analysis techniques (fluorescence, TIRF, confocal, Raman spectroscopy, optical traps, and more).

The use of ultraviolet light and ozone for the removal of molecular levels of contamination is a proven and effective approach to ensuring the cleanest possible probes and surfaces for your application. The PSD Series of decontamination systems has been designed specifically for use in the electronic, semiconductor and scientific communities.

In addition to modified AFM probes, Novascan has developed a number of protocols for modifying mica and glass substrates. A variety of metallic, chemical, and biological coatings are available. AFM-grade mica is also available in bulk packs.

Modified probes are a perfect compliment to nearly any atomic force microscope application. Standard particle mountings range in size from 600 nm to 45 μm. A variety of chemical and biological coating options are also available for Chemical Force Microscopy (CFM) applications. Custom modifications are also welcome.

Do you perform force experiments using an AFM? Improve the accuracy of your measurements with a PCM series universal spring constant calibration system.

While isolating high perfomance instrumentation, it is common to think only of mechanical transmission of noise through solid surfaces such as the floor, walls and tables. A great deal of noise, however, can also be transimtted through acoustical waves that may excite inherent natural resonant frequncies within your instrument or even within the vibration isolation platforms themselves. Fortunately, these problems can be eliminated with a Nanocube chamber.

When working on the nanoscale, a high performance vibration isolation system can be the difference between noise-free data or seeing the disturbances caused by people walking down the hall. Novascan is a distributor for Halcyonics and Minus K vibration isolation systems. By being able to offer both active and passive isolation solutions, we can help you find the best product to meet your needs and budget.
