Key components
- NanoWizard® AFM system consisting of AFM head, controller and software
- BioMAT™ base with built-in optics
- Upright optical microscope with modified sample stage
- JPK shuttle stage with clamp fixation and XY coarse adjustment
BioMAT™ base
- Solid mechanical base for highest resolution AFM operation
- Integrated optical system for position calibration with focusing and illumination
- Precision positioning for the AFM alignment
Shuttle stage
- Easy to handle and to carry
- 10 mm manual travel range in XY
- < 5 μm (typically 3 μm) repeatability of AFM and optical microscope co-localization
- Fully liquid proof design
- Precision sample clamp for a large variety of samples
- Shuttle stage with integrated Petri dish heater optional
Upright optical microscope
- A large variety of research grade upright microscopes can be used (e.g. Zeiss AxioImager series, Axioscope.A1, Axioskop 2 mot.; Olympus BX51/BX61, BX53, BXFM, OLS 4100 LEXT, Nikon Eclipse LV150/150A, Eclipse E600; Leica DM 4000/5000..)
- No restrictions on imaging modes (brightfield, DIC, fluorescence, also FCS, FRET, FLIM, Raman, etc.)
- Full compatibility with confocal laser scanning microscopes (CLSM)
- Use of water dipping objectives for measurements in fluid
- Optical microscope can be located independent from the AFM system, sample transfer is done by shuttle stage
AFM specifications
