Utilization: optical characterization of organic, biological and inorganic samples combining Near Field Optical Microscopy with Scanning Probe Microscopy offering simultaneously optical and topographical information with a minimal preparation of the sample;
Applications: material science, nanotechnology (nano-photonics and nano-optics), biology, medicine (detection of the most minuscule surface structures of transparent and opaque samples).
Characteristics:
Dual Optical Microscope working in up-right and inverted mode;
Confocal Microscopy facilities;
NanoFountainPen for writing and chemical delivery and removing at the nanometer level;
Imaging resolution for NSOM: 50 nm;
Scanner resolution: <0.05 nm (Z) and <0.15 nm (XY).
