HEKA's ELP 1 systems are divided into four models with different scanning properties. Available models are featured with long scan range (ELP 1), or super-high scan resolution (ELP 1A), or combined long range and high resolution (ELP 1A-MXYZ-PC100), or specially integrated with a support frame (ELP 1 Arch). ELP 1 The ELP 1 system is a compact and versatile electrochemical scanning platform. It uses a highest quality closed-loop controlled multi-axis motorized positioning system. A linear encoder at each axis allows a real-time position control with closed-loop regulation to eliminate backlashes....

ELP 1A The ELP 1A system is a very compact electrochemical scanning platform for high resolution imaging and high scan speed. It is equipped with a fixed XY-stage and a motorized closed-loop Z-axis with linear encoder. The option of manual coarse positioning in XY direction is integrated into the Z-Axis assembly. A XYZ piezo cube for scanning of the probe is mounted on the Z-axis motor.

Featured application examples In material sciences, the study of degradation and corrosion processes is of interest. SECM as well as micropipette techniques have been applied to investigate corrosion kinetics (generation-collection mode of SECM), local corrosion potentials (SECCM) and localized impedance measurements (SMCM). The combination with Shear Force sensing allows constant-distance scans. Studying localized corrosion processes at alloys by SECM The addition of Ti to ferritic stainless steel inhibits intergranular corrosion but takes part in the initiation of other localized corrosion...
