Mad City Labs, Inc. High Resolution, Atomic Force Microscope SPM-M Kit

The SPM-M Kit combines the MadPLL® instrument package with Mad City Labs high resolution piezo nanpositioning systems to form a high performance, closed loop, scanning Akiyama probe or tuning fork AFM. The seamless integration of hardware combined with the built-in automated control of MadPLL® means that you can concentrate on getting results, not tweaking parameters. Applications for the SPM-M Kit include nanoscale characterization and nanoscale fabrication applications such as nitrogen vacancies in diamond, optical antennas, nano-optics, semiconductors, data storage, and more. The SPM-M Kit is ideal for research and teaching laboratories offering high performance, versatility, simplicity and excellent value. MadPLL® is a powerful instrument package that allows the user to create an inexpensive, high resolution resonant scanning probe microscope using Mad City Labs piezo nanopositioning systems. The MadPLL® package includes a digital phase lock loop (PLL) controller, software, sensor amplifier board, and resonant probe mounting board. MadPLL® includes five (5) each of the vertical, horizontal, Akiyama, and blank probe boards. In addition, each unit is shipped with five (5) tuning forks. Additional probe boards and tuning forks can be purchased separately.
