SpectraView 2500

Integrating scattering techniques with ultrasensitive SPM/AFM, the SpectraView MV2500 (TM) is a breakthrough in  nanochemical analysis: IR-ThZ-Raman-AFM. The SpectraView 2500 (TM) is a compact ultra-low noise scanning probe microscope, offering the highest of resolution and force sensitivity. It offers all modes of AFM, contact, tapping, non-contact and elasticity mapping together with other standard protocols. The SpectraView2500 has the ultimate in flexibility for full optical integration with a variety of microscopes including Raman and Fluorescence. Unlike any other AFM it can be placed on the stage of any upright microscope for viewing opaque samples with the highest numerical aperture objectives. Furthermore, the system is completely unimpeded from below allowing for ease of integrating inverted and dual microscopes, magnets etc. Besides the ability to use all AFM probes available today, owners of the SpectraView2500 have exclusive use of Nanonics NanoToolKit(TM) of probes that permit a full range of functional SPM applications without obstructing the optical axis from above. This allows for on-line spectral characterization of chemical information using Raman, fluorescence or other spectral techniques.
