ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE
 
 
atomic force microscope The Dimension 3000 Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) utilizes automated atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) techniques to measure surface characteristics for semiconductor wafers, lithography masks, magnetic media, CDs/DVD's, biomaterials, optics and other samples up to 200mm in diameter. Integrated top view video optics with motorized zoom help identify areas of interest for detailed scanning quickly. Changing scanning techniques from AFM to STM requires no tools.
