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  (EC) option for the Digital Instruments EnviroScope atomic force microscope atomic force microscope (AFM), device that uses a spring-mounted probe to image individual atoms on the surface of a material. Unlike the scanning tunneling microscope, which is also a scanning probe microscope, the AFM can be used on materials that do not conduct  (AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) A device used to image materials at the atomic level. AFMs are used to solve processing and materials problems in electronics, telecom, biology and other high-tech industries. ). 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 according to

In addition, the EnviroScope offers an optional, all-in-one, turnkey vacuum system vacuum system Urology A mechanical system used to facilitate and maintain an erection; an erection erector.

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.
