ezAFM – Compact AFM
ezAFM is our compact atomic force microscopy system. We offer two different scan head options which are 40x40x4 µm or 120x120x40 µm.
This compact atomic force microscope can be integrated with inverted light microscopes or can be used in gloveboxes. The footprint of the controller is only 15×15 cm.
The samples can be moved manually or we can supply the optional motorized or manual sample stages. XY manual sample positioner has a 2×2 mm range with 10µm resolution and the XY motorized sample positioner has a 38×38 mm range with 1µm resolution.
Scanning modes
Contact Mode Dynamic Mode (Tapping Mode) Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM) Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) f-d Spectroscopy For electrical modes please check the ezAFM+
Optional AQUA(Liquid mode) Scan Head We offer an optional AQUA scan head to operate the system in liquid mode.
ILM system consists of 3 parts: ezAFM Scanner Head, XY Flexture Stage and ezAFM – ILM Adaptor Stage. The XY Flexture Stage moves the cantilever position with 2 mm range. Coaxial illumination is the top light source of the system, and except from ezAFM camera integrated inside of the ezAFM, the cantilever and also the sample can be observed from the ILM. Coarse Z movement stage is adjusted for thicker samples.
ezAFM Features
ROBUST & FLEXIBLE: The design of the ezAFM allows users to replace/exchange the scan heads easily, safely and frequently. Each system can have scan heads for different scan size, Z range or air/liquid mediums.
EASE-OF-USE: We simplified cantilever replacement in our AFMs by using alignment grooves on commercially available cantilevers. Our scanner heads feature specially designed ‘alignment chips’ that ensure cantilevers are consistently positioned with the laser beam, eliminating the need for realigning the laser or photodiode.
COMPACT & PORTABLE: With a footprint of only 70cm x 30cm (including the laptop), the ezAFM requires little operating space. It is light and comes packed in a durable case for easy transportation or storage.
VERSATILE: We offer two scan heads for the ezAFM: the ezAFM120 and the ezAFM40. The ezAFM120 provides a scan area of up to 120x120x40 µm with 0.2 nm Z resolution, making it ideal for rough surfaces and larger, corrugated samples like textiles and paper pulp. The ezAFM40, with a 40x40x4 µm scan area and 0.02 nm Z resolution, is perfect for high-resolution imaging of single-layer graphene. Both scan heads support the standard 10x10x5 mm sample size and can be reconfigured for larger surfaces.
