The instrument package includes the ability to scan large samples, scan in liquids, and scan at controlled temperature. The package includes several AFM modes, including contact, tapping, force-distance, fast force-distance, magnetic force microscopy and electrical force microscopy. The system includes full acoustic and vibration shielding enclosures, control electronics, and control computers. The system also includes high-quality optical microscope for sample observation, and laser alignment, and offline software for analysis of all data.
