Angstrom Advaned Atomic Force Microscope and Scanning Force Microscope Software

Angstrom Advaned Atomic Force Microscope and Scanning Force Microscope Software


The Software is available with the following data types of images
AFM Contact Mode:
  •       Topography — the rise and fall of the sample surface.
  •       Deflection — cantilever flexes because of the rise and fall of sample topography and the amount of this deflection can
  •       be reflected by the Photodectetor’s Up-Down signal.
  •       Friction - lateral forces between tip and sample, which causes the torsion of the cantilever and can be reflected by the Photodectetor’s Left-Right signal. 
AFM Tapping Mode:
  •       Topography — the rise and fall of the sample surface.
  •       Amplitude — cantilever oscillating amplitude changes because of the rise and fall of sample topography.
  •       Phase — cantilever oscillating phase changes because of the sample material characteristics.
Scanning Tunneling Microscope:
  •       Topography —the rise and fall of the sample surface.
  •       Current — Tunneling current changes between tip and sample surface.
