MultiMode V AFM was designed to enable measurements of small samples, such as polymers and electrochemical materials. The product now features industry-leading high-speed data capture (50 MHz), increased thermal tune capabilities and high pixel density images which allow observation of large structures and small features in the same image. The system performs the full range of AFM and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) techniques to measure surface characteristics like topography, elasticity, friction, adhesion, and magnetic/electrical fields. The short mechanical path length between probe tip and sample enables very fast scan rates with utmost precision.
