Basic Atomic Force Microscope for Routine Scanning and Education

The B-AFM is a complete system that includes a computer with software, a stage, and control electronics; everything needed for AFM scanning. The electronics are located at the rear of the B-AFM stage, and only a single USB cable is connected between the computer and the stage. For scientists and engineers with bigger ideas than budgets.

Key Features and Benefits of the B-AFM

• 7-Step Scanning Software
  The B-AFM 7-Step Scanning Software is designed for casual AFM users that want to obtain AFM images without in depth AFM expertise. A user-friendly design makes the B-AFM ideal for teaching students the basics of AFM theory and operation.
• Intuitive Light Lever Design
  A unique design of the light lever makes aligning the system a routine procedure for users with limited experience. A removable probe holder makes changing probes quick and easy.
• Linearized X, Y, and Z Scanners
  Piezoelectric X, Y (50 µm) and Z (17 µm) scanners incorporate strain gauges that provide linear scans and rapid zoom-to-feature capabilities.
• Standard AFM Scanning Modes
  Scanning modes for the B-AFM include vibrating (tapping), non-vibrating (contact), phase, and LFM (Force/Distance). These modes will allow users to scan the most common types of samples.
• Acoustic Enclosure
  The B-AFM is encased in an acoustic cabinet made from ¾” MDF and acoustic foam, creating a vibration isolation environment that will provide high-quality scans on almost any lab bench.
  B-AFM’s Applications
• Education
  The B-AFM is ideal for educating students on the theory, operation and applications of an atomic force microscope. One of the advantages of the B-AFM for education is the open design of the light lever force sensor.
• Routine Scanning
  Routine scanning of samples that are not challenging to scan is a common application for the B-AFM. If a noise floor below 300pM is required, we suggest purchasing the AFMControl software and a vibration table.
  

If our AFMs can’t run your application, we will refund the full purchase price. Additionally, our AFMs are now backed by a two-year, return-to-factory warranty.
