Atomic Force Microscopy

Atomic force microscopy is a technique for characterizing the physical properties of materials through physical interactions with a microscopic probe. This technique provide researchers a variety of options to stimulate their samples and measure a variety of responses. This has lead to countless numbers of techniques that helps us experimentally expand our understanding of the microscopic world. View this poster for a sample of some common techniques.

Core TechnologyDescription
SOP: AR MFP-3D Origin+This document is the standard operating procedure (SOP) for the Asylum Research MFP-3D Origin+ atomic force microscope at UHNF. This SOP serves as a foundation for initial training and ensures that the equipment can be operated correctly, by everyone, the first time.
XY DriftThe XY stage drift is characterized for the Asylum Research MFP-3D Origin+ atomic force microscope.
Z DriftThe Z actuator drift is characterized for the Asylum Research MFP-3D Origin+ atomic force microscope.
Variable Field ModuleThe variable field module is characterized for the Asylum Research MFP-3D Origin+ atomic force microscope.
Source Meter IntegrationA Keithley 2400 source meter was integrated into the Asylum Research MFP-3D Origin+ atomic force microscope to provide resistance measurements.
SSP: AR MFP-3D Origin+This document is the standard service procedure (SSP) for the Asylum Research MFP-3D Origin+ atomic force microscope at UHNF. This SSP ensures that any staff can effectively perform routine service or repairs correctly, the first time. This document is restricted to equipment custodians. Contact us for access.
