N8 ARGOS
- N8 ARGOS
The N8 ARGOS is a compact and highly rigid stand for the NANOS AFM/SPM system. Equipped with a ultra precision vertical stage the AFM is approached with nanometer accuracy. Sophisticated algorithms provide a smooth and gentle probe approach. Accidental tip to sample contacts in non - contact measurement approaches belong to the past. Unique sliding X - Y stages provide the highest possible rigidity.

AFM / SPM the easy way
The stages are made of granite, a material with superior thermal properties. Driven by high precision micrometer screws an exact positioning of the sample is provided. After reaching the measuring position on the sample the stage can be completely decoupled from the driving micrometer screws by simply turning them a few micrometers back. Thus, the granite stage elements are in direct contact over the entire running surface. This explains the superior drift - free behavior of this proprietary design.
The straightforward, yet vibration insensitive stand provides the ideal setup for high accuracy AFM/SPM measurements down to a true atomic level.
