Scanning probe microscopy enables three-dimensional imaging at the nanometer scale by scanning a very sharp probe across a surface.

Capabilities_FLOW

Measurements can be carried out in air and in situ. The probe can also be used to manipulate the sample surface at the nanometer scale.

    Confocal raman imaging and AFM

    Co-localised confocal Raman microscope and AFM to perform both chemical mapping and three-dimensional AFM imaging of a sample. The system can be used for confocal Raman microscopy, confocal optical microscopy and AFM individually or for combined confocal Raman microscopy and AFM (such as Tip-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS).
