Ambios Quesant Universal SPM is available in our laboratory.
Quesant Universal SPM features include:
- 250x video microscope with 90 degree top-down view for easy alignment and positioning of the AFM probe. Tip and surface view is 45 degrees during STM operation.
- Easy-to-use controls permit rapid probe exchange and alignment, sample approach, and intuitive display and adjustment of all SPM operating parameters. There is a micrometer-driven X-Y translation of the scan head over the sample.
- Contact and non-contact AFM imaging modes.
- Patented Analoop™ analog PID feedback loop that is digitally controlled which allows more accurate data gathering and has an extremely fast sampling frequency.
- Acoustic/Vibration Isolation Chamber (AVIC)
Staging Systems :
- Maximum sample size: 25(x) x 25(y) x 8(z)mm
- X-Y translation: +/- 5mm (manual)
- Sample mounting: 20mm diameter platform
- Simple exchange of scanners, probe modules (i.e. AFM to STM), and cantilevers
- Video view: 250x, 0.75mm FOV, 90° to sample
- Sample illumination: LED
Realtime image acquisition software features include:
- Realtime surface leveling
- Adjustment to PID controls
- Adjustment of scan controls
- Undo/redo functions to allow capture of previous or partial images
- Image capture up to 1024 x 1024 pixels
- Slope shading or perspective illumination
- Hardware and software image zoom
Image analysis and rendering software features include:
- Variety of curve fitting/leveling mechanisms on a line-by-line or entire image basis
- Image streak and/or spot artifact removal
- 2D FFT analysis with unique image conjugate erase functions that allows easy identification and removal of periodic features
- Line profile extraction on single or multiple lines
- Automated bimodal histogram function for statistically significant step height measurements
