Welcome to the Scanning Probe Channel of Microscopy & Analysis

The scanning probe microscope scans a sharp probe extremely close to a specimen to produce a three-dimensional image of surface topography and properties at nanometre or atomic resolution. Almost every chemical, mechanical and physical property of a specimen can be investigated, imaged and measured using SPM.

Anasys InstrumentsAnasys Instruments unveils breakthrough nanoscale infrared spectroscopic AFM
The nanoIR system combines the nanoscale spatial resolution capabilities of atomic force microscopy with infrared spectroscopy’s ability to characterize and identify chemical species. Users of nanoIR technology can quickly survey regions of a sample via AFM and then rapidly acquire high-resolution chemical spectra at the selected regions
