Short Description:

Atomic Force Microscope with various imaging modes

Picture of the Equipment

Multimode Atomic Force Microscope
 

Available Experiments/Techniques:

The multimode AFM allows the morphological and mechanical characterization of small samples with several imaging modes:
- tapping mode
- contact mode
- phase, amplitude, height mode imaging
-lateral force and torsion measurements
- nanoindentationetc.

resolution < 1nm 

Special Equipment:

Sample preparation equipment 

Measurements on the equipment are currently done by: Students after extensive training
Trained scientific service personal
 
Recent Publications, where this instrument was
important (citation):
Macromolecules 2009, 42(15), 5684-5699
Langmuir (2007), 23(21), 10746-10755.

 
Typical problems that may be solved with this instrument: The microscope allows the characterization of surfaces of nearly every material, and the investigation of bulk morphologies on microtomed samples.Topography and material properties can be imaged.
