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 WITec Confocal Raman Microscope/SNOM/AFM-based scanning probe microscopy imaging services.
For NSOM, the alpha300 uses unique micro-fabricated SNOM-cantilever sensors for optical microscopy with spatial resolution below the diffraction limit. All standard optical modes such as transmission, reflection and fluorescence are available. The Alpha300-Confocal Raman Microscope offers the unique ability to acquire chemical information non-destructively with a resolution down to the optical diffraction limit (~ 200 nm). Due to the confocal setup, it is not only possible to collect information from the sample surface, but also to look deep inside transparent samples and even obtain 3D information. The Alpha300 integrates an AFM system with a scientific grade optical microscope for superior optical access and high-resolution sample survey. More specifically, the Digital Pulsed Force Mode in AFM, allowing local surface properties such as local adhesion or stiffness to be imaged along with topography on the nanometer scale.
The Alpha300 is a user friendly Near-field Scanning Optical Microscopy (NSOM) that combines in a unique way the advantages of NSOM, Confocal Raman Microscopy and Atomic Force Microscopy in a single instrument. By simply rotating the objective turret, the user can choose from Confocal Microscopy, NSOM or AFM.
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.
