  • Electrostatic force microscopy.
  • Magnetic force microscopy.
  • X-Y scan range: 100 μm x 100 μm.
  • Z-range: 12 μm.
  • Surface roughness measurements.
  • Electrical measurements.

Usage Information

Supported Sample Sizes

  • Maximum wafer diameter: 200 mm (8 in).
  • Small pieces supported: Yes.

Typical Applications

  • Imaging of nanoscale materials.
  • Topographic surface characterization.
  • Non-destructive inspection of samples.
