Atomic force testing.


This supplier of instruments to the nanoscience community has introduced an electrochemistry electrochemistry, science dealing with the relationship between electricity and chemical changes. Of principal interest are the reactions that take place between electrodes and the electrolytes in electric and electrolytic cells (see electrolysis), as well as the reactions that take place in an electrolyte as electricity passes through it. The principles of electrochemistry are applied in a variety of ways, e.g. (EC) option for the Digital Instruments EnviroScope atomic force microscope See AFM. (AFM AFM - Abrasive Flow Machining

AFM - Actuated Folding Mirror

). The EnviroScope AFM with EC permits polymer studies in various environments, including controlled-humidity measurements. The electrochemistry option, specifically designed for the EnviroScope, enables software-controlled sample temperature. The EnviroScope's sealed sample chamber allows gas flow above the electrochemistry fluid cell for sample bath evaporation

 and chemistry control. Compared to a static gas cell, which holds a very tiny amount of gas and can be difficult to control, the EnviroScope's chamber provides better, simpler gas control over the sample, according to the company. In addition, the EnviroScope offers an optional, all-in-one, turnkey vacuum system. The turbo pump is mounted to a custom isolation table for direct access to the AFM, and the roughing pump can be remotely positioned to ensure no vibrational interference during imaging. Vacuum enables a broader array of experiments.
