NOVEL COMPOSITIONAL RINGING MODE
Ringing Mode™ is a new AFM imaging mode that provides previously inaccessible information regarding the composition of samples
- Provides unique data for each sample, which is impossible to obtain with other techniques
- User-friendly technology with minimal learning curve
- 8 additional RM channels for imaging the sample surface; all 8 channels are obtained simultaneously
- Up to 14 different data channels can be acquired simultaneously when combined with the traditional sub-resonance tapping
- Measurements are highly consistent and repeatable
- Images are acquired at high imaging rates
- Measurements can be taken in the air or submerged in liquid
- Higher signal-to-noise ratio is obtained due to multiple averaging of recorded signal
- Less distortion due to possible interference due to independent identification of zero force
- Can be installed on a range of AFM systems
- Seamless integration with Bruker’s AFMs
FAST AND HIGH-RESOLUTION NANOINDENTER
Fourier Transform Nano-Dynamical Mechanical Analyzer (FT-nanoDMA™) AFM extension allows measurement of (quasi)static and dynamic mechanical moduli of soft materials.
- Dynamic mechanical spectroscopy (DMS) of soft materials is quantitative and results are repeatable
- Storage, loss moduli, and loss tangent can simultaneously be recorded for 10 different frequencies (currently up to 300Hz)
- Static (Young’s) moduli can be measured simultaneously with dynamic mechanical properties
- Up to 280x faster compared to the current state-of-the-art nanoindenter, FT-nanoDMA can be treated as an imaging mode
- 150x increase in lateral resolution compared to the current state-of-the-art nanoindenters
- Measurements can be taken in the air or submerged in liquid
- Samples may include biological cells (both fixed and live directly in physiological media), tissues, and even ultrasoft polymers and polymer brushes
- Ability to record frequency gradients of dynamic moduli; no other technology allows for such measurements on a nanoscale
