Bruker Multimode 8
Description
The Bruker Multimode 8® (MM8) is an advanced atomic force microscope (AFM) and Scanning Tunnelling Microscope (STM). AFM is a very high-resolution type of Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) which acquires data by “feeling” or “touching” the surface of a sample with a mechanical probe. STM is used to image samples at the atomic level by examining a bias (voltage difference) applied between a conductive probe and a conductive sample.
The MM8 features the Bruker PeakForce Tapping technology, PeakForce QNM (Quantitative Nanomechanical Mapping) for the rapid acquisition of a range of sample mechanical properties including elasticity, adhesion and deformation simultaneously with topography and epifluorescence wide-field microscopy. The MM8 also features the Bruker ScanAsyst® software, automating the optimisation of scanning parameters for users to obtain quality images.
