AFM system optimized for biological/soft samples, equipped with liquid cells with temperature control, piezo-actuator that guarantees 100 microns of z-range, and Quantitative Imaging (QI) for fast mapping of elastic modulus.

Access to the instrument is limited, to arrange measurements please contact Dr. Marco Salerno.

AFM system for general-purpose topological and mechanical characterization, equipped also for the measurement of electrical properties of materials, with ORCA module for conductive AFM, and AMFM loss tangent mapping.
