Atomic Force Microscopes LS-AFM AFM workshop

The LS-AFM is used in life sciences applications when an inverted optical microscope is required for locating cells or other bio-materials on a surface. The LS-AFM can be retrofitted to almost any inverted optical microscope, or it can be purchased with the AFMWorkshop inverted optical microscope.

Available with AFMWorkshop inverted microscope	Turnkey system with guaranteed results
Glass slides and petri dish sample holder	No additional sample holding options required for most applications
Includes liquid scanner	Readily scan samples in ambient air and liquids
Closed loop XY scanner	Zoom to feature with accurate positioning for F/D curves
LabVIEW software with USB communication	Readily adaptable to new operating systems
Probe exchange tool included	Reduce time for probe exchange (& use any manufacturer's probes)
Includes top view video microscope	Facilitates tip approach and laser alignment
Includes vibrating, non-vibrating, phase, LFM, and advanced F/D	Most common scanning modes included for life sciences applications
