Nano 3D Mapping Fast
-
The time required for physical property mapping has been significantly reduced compared to the previous machine (SPM-9700HT).
The shorter mapping time enables stable physical property evaluation.
NanoAssist Optimizes Observation Conditions
High-Throughput Scanner Shortens Observation Times
- The newly developed HT scanner with its high-speed response and optimized software and control system design, enables image data to be acquired five times faster than before (compared to our previous system).
High Stability & High Throughput
With the optical lever system and cantilever integrated into the head, samples can be replaced by simply sliding the head. Since samples can be changed without shutting off the laser beam, laser irradiation characteristics remain highly stable even after changing the sample. This eliminates the need to readjust the optical axis or other parameters associated with stopping the laser, which means analysis times can be shortened.
-
High Stability
- The laser remains stable and irradiating the cantilever even while replacing samples.
- Design is resistant to vibration, noise, wind, and other external disturbances, so a specialized enclosure is not necessary.
- The main unit includes a built-in vibration isolator.
-
High-Throughput Observations
- Samples can be replaced without removing the cantilever holder.
- Samples can be accessed even during SPM observations.
- Samples are approached automatically, regardless of the sample thickness.

Cantilever Mounting Jig
- This jig ensures easy and secure mounting of the cantilever.
Mounting procedure:
(1) Set the cantilever holder in the cantilever mounting jig.
(2) Place the cantilever on the slide.
(3) Slide the the cantilever onto the cantilever holder, and secure it.
Wide Variety of 3D Rendering Functions Using Mouse Operations
Images can be freely rotated, zoomed, and Z-axis magnification varied using the mouse to intuitively adjust the viewing angle or magnification level. Using sophisticated analytical tools, such as a texture function, which displays sample physical properties overlaid with height information, or a 3D cross-section profile analysis function, dramatically improves the efficiency of image verification work.

Texture Function
- Height information can be displayed overlaid with information about other physical properties. This allows clearly showing the relationship between both parameters.
3D Cross-Section Profile Analysis
- Cross-section profiles can be analyzed in 3D images. If physical property information is expressed in terms of texture, respective cross-section profiles can be displayed and analyzed in the same location.
Functionality and Expandability to Meet a Wide Range of Requirements
- A generous selection of measurement modes and excellent expandability helps ensure reliable measurements, regardless of the properties that a wide variety of samples may have, such as hardness or electrical conductivity.
With a generous selection of measurement modes, images can be obtained that show other information besides the sample shape, such as electrical current or electrical potential levels, or surface hardness or viscosity properties.
