SPM-9700
Scanning Probe Microscope(SPM)


Making the Unknown Visible


Scanning probe microscope (SPM) is a generic term for microscopes that scan sample surfaces with an extremely sharp probe to observe their three-dimensional image or local properties at high magnifications. The SPM-9700 offers higher performance, faster speeds, and easier operation.

Optional Products and Application Examples

WET-SPM Environment Controlled Scanning Probe Microscope

This allows controlling the sample and surrounding environment for processing or observing samples in a controlled environment.

An optional temperature and humidity controller, sample heating and cooling unit, sample heating unit, and gas spray unit are also available.

Particle Analysis Software

This allows extracting multiple particles from image data and calculating, analyzing, or displaying characteristic quantities for each individual particle. It also enables statistical processing as well. .

SPM + TriboScope Combination SPM and Ultra Micro Hardness Testing System

(TriboScope is a product of Hysitron, in the United States)
Performs hardness tests and scratch tests on ultra thin films.

SPM + nano-TA2 Combination SPM and Micro Thermal Analyzer System

(nano-TA2 is a product of Anasys Instruments)
Acquires 3D images of sample surfaces and analyzes thermal properties of only sub-micron-sized regions or topmost surfaces.
