The NanoWizard® NanoOptics AFM is optimized for a broad range of applications ranging from nanoscale optical imaging by aperture and scattering-type SNOM to experiments involving interactions of light with the sample such as absorption, excitation, nonlinear effects and quenching.
Cutting Edge
Optical near-field experiments
Collection of single photons and sub-wavelength resolution. Ideal for the study of optical surface properties, quantum dots and metamaterials.
Unique
Nanoscale optical imaging
Seamless integration with advanced fluorescence techniques, Raman spectroscopy, and time-correlated single photon counting systems. Integrated port for SNOM applications.
Nanomanipulation
User-defined experiments
Correlative data. Highest spatial resolution in the nano-meter range. Designed for stability and liquid applications. Ideal for BioTERS applications.
FEATURES
Cutting edge technology to study nanooptical phenomena
The new NanoWizard® NanoOptics head comes with excellent physical and optical access to the sample from top and bottom as well as from front and side, even when the head and condenser are in place. Additionally, it has an integrated port for fiber SNOM applications.
Because stability and reproducibility of the SPM-tip positioning and scanning are vital for applications requiring the collection of single photons over a long time period, the system has been optimized for it. Improved closed-loop control on 5 or 6 axes and highest scanner resonance frequency in z deliver a scanner performance previously not available in a commercial AFM. This ensures highest data quality for imaging and force measurements in air and liquids.
