09.03.2010Carbon Design Innovations announced the availability of a new atomic force microscope (AFM) probe for high-aspect ratio life science imaging. The Carbon Core BioProbe (CCB) offers AFM scientists a new level of performance and opens new avenues for research. The company has patented processes for the deterministic manufacture of carbon nanotube (CNT) devices. Based on these processes, the company is able to produce CNT AFM probes that are perfectly straight and precisely aligned, allowing them to be set at desired angles to the imaging surface.
more28.01.2010Newport Corporation introduced a new coherent anti-stokes raman scattering (CARS) optimized supercontinuum generation fiber device. Designed for use with 800 nm femtosecond lasers, the SCG-800-CARS contains 12 cm, highly nonlinear photonic crystal fiber with zero dispersion points at ~775 and ~945 nm.
more27.01.2010Agar Scientific announced their appointment as distributors for the products of TEMwindows.com for the UK and Ireland. Agar will sell pure silicon UltraSM TEM windows together with silicon oxide and silicon nitride products.
These products are state-of-the-art transmission electron microscopy windows that enable the characterization of cutting-edge nanomaterials by incorporating the latest MEMS and thin film technologies.
more18.01.2010MonoCL4 is the next generation in the family of cathodoluminescence (CL) systems from Gatan. It is available in 4 configurations to suit a wide range of applications and requirements: MonoCL4, MonoCL4 Swift, MonoCL4 Plus and MonoCL4 Elite.
more13.01.2010Bruker Nano announced that its N8 Titanos large-sample inspection AFM has been further improved to provide high spatial resolving power. Due to its AFM technology and mechanical stability, the AFM has now been demonstrated with atomic-scale resolution on HOPG (highly oriented pyrolythic graphite) on a production instrument in standard configuration. The AFM has proven itself once again as the most precise and stable AFM platform for large samples up to 300 mm diameter.
more09.11.2009JPK Instruments announced new electrochemical capabilities for their NanoWizard AFM systems. Electrochemical experiments study redox reactions of substances at a solid-liquid interface. With atomic force microscopy, high-resolution images can be obtained in liquid as the electrochemical reaction progresses. Electrochemistry spans a wide range of fields, from the corrosion of metal surfaces through to the role of protein electron transfer processes in biosensors.
more06.11.2009The AutoProbe 200 is Omniprobe's most popular nano-manipulator system. It is a fully automated, multi-purpose nano-positioning system capable of in-situ lift-out, electrical measurements, nano-mechanical testing and charge neutralization in the FIB, Auger or SEM. The computer controlled system offers high throughput, high accuracy (100nm standard, 10nm optional) and a field-proven excellent success rate for all tasks.
more06.11.2009NT-MDT announced that the Solver Next has received the coveted R&D 100 award for the first commercial scanning probe microscope featuring both Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) in one. This prestigious annual award recognizes the top 100 new technologies from the past year, across a broad range of industries.
