SPM system SMENA Print E-mail
Scanning Probe Microscopes
Stand Alone SMENA expands the scope of SPM to bring you innovative facilities for investigating samples with unlimited size in all available SPM measuring modes. In spite of such versatile measuring capabilities Stand Alone SMENA has a very compact low weight design and reasonable price. SPM Smena consists of a stand-alone measuring head and an electronic module connected to a laptop or PC by the mean of interface board.

To find easier a place on your sample surface in which you want to start your measurement, we really recommend you to use the specially selected optical viewing system. This system will really help you to adjust your AFM as well as to view the cantilever and the sample surface with the resolution of 5µm, while the eye-glass of the optical microscope stays fixed in the vertical position (by means the special adjustable mirror). You can also view the image obtained by the CCD camera on the black&white or color monitor.

There are some cases when it's impossible to use SMENA head for large samples investigation as stand alone device. For instance, when the sample surface is too fragile or sensitive. Or when the rigidity the sample in the scanning field can't be provided (i.e. for such soft samples like textiles or leather). Now we have the solution for these cases.

Measuring modes

  • In air: Contact AFM/LFM/ResonantMode AFM (semicontact + noncontact)/Phase Imaging/Force Modulation (viscoelastisity)/Adhesion Force Imaging/ Spreading Resistance Imaging/ SCM/ SKM/ MFM/ EFM/ AFM, Voltage, RM Lithographies
  • In liquid: Contact AFM/ LFM/ ResonantMode AFM (semicontact + noncontact)/ Phase Imaging/ Force Modulation (viscoelastisity)/ Adhesion Force Imaging

Applications

Optical and Magnetic Storage, Coating and Polishing Quality Control, Large Optics, Polymers, Biology and Medicine, Semiconductors, Materials Science and many others.
