The NX1 combines a solid low-noise design, a Kovar-based AFM core body, and a precision XYZ tube scanner to provide an optimum solution for researchers studying atomic lattice imaging of crystalline and two-dimensional materials.
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) has emerged as an essential method for nanoscale surface characterization, giving high-resolution data on surface shape, mechanical response, and functional properties across a wide range of materials.
AFM's ability to image both conducting and insulating samples makes it very useful for studying crystalline surfaces, two-dimensional materials, and other nanoscale structures that require local surface information.
