Equipment Location
The LCN currently has three Bruker MultiMode 8 AFMs which are equipped with an E scanner or J scanner (with heater) and uses the unique PeakForce Tapping™ technology to provide new information, faster results and greatly improved ease of use. ScanAsyst allows direct control of the tip-sample interaction force and optimisation of imaging parameters. PeakForce QNM, analyses each tip-sample interaction to extract nanomechanical properties including modulus, adhesion, deformation, and dissipation.
Modes:
- PeakForce Tapping (air/liquid)
- ScanAsyst
- Quantitative Nanomechanical Mapping (QNM)
- Contact mode(air/liquid)
- Tapping mode (air/liquid)
- Phase imaging
- Lateral force mode
- Kelvin Probe Microscopy
- MFM
- Piezoresponse
