Best Performance on Challenging Samples The MultiMode 8 Is Designed for Performance The remarkable performance of the MultiMode 8 is the result of both its superior mechanical design and the industry’s lowest noise control electronics. A compact, rigid mechanical design is critically important for high-resolution imaging because performance is strongly influenced by the length of the mechanical path between the sample and the AFM probe. Shorter paths offer greater immunity to acoustic and vibrational noise and are less susceptible to the effects of thermal drift. These considerations are the...

Faster and More Productive at Every Step Productivity Doesn’t Mean Just Scanning Faster The speed of an AFM is better measured in terms of time to data than in raw line scan rates. What matters most is the total time from loading your sample to walking away with good data. So every step from probe loading to final image processing contributes to the overall productivity of an AFM. The MultiMode 8 makes each of these steps as quick and easy as possible. NanoScope Software Is Designed for Usability A key contributor to the productivity of the MultiMode 8 is the powerful yet intuitive NanoScope...
