The Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) is an international surface analysis instrument developed in recent years, which is a high-tech product that integrates optical, mechanical, and electrical technology by using optoelectronics, laser technology, weak signal detection technology, applied optics technology, computer high-speed acquisition and control, and high-resolution graphics processing technology and other modern technological achievements. CD BioSciences offers FEI Nova NanoSEM 200-based scanning probe microscopy imaging services.

The FEI Nova is an ultra high resolution (UHR) SEM equipped with a Field Emission Gun (FEG). With its combination of low vacuum mode and an ultra stable source, it makes the great candidate for analytic SEM needs. As such, as well as UHR imaging, it gets used a lot for:
1. HR-SEM
2. EDS mapping (elemental distribution)
3. Electron-beam lithography (EBL)
The objective lens in the Nova can operate as either a standard pin-hole type lens, or as an immersion lens for UHR imaging. In immersion mode, the entire chamber acts as an objective lens, 'immersing' the sample in the magnetic field (no magnetic samples please!). This allows for sharper images and greater beam control at lower voltages.
The areas of application of SPM are vast. Whether it is a basic discipline such as physics, chemistry, biology, or medicine, or an applied discipline such as materials or microelectronics, there is a place for it.
