Description

An advanced microscopy platform integrating imaging and spectroscopy techniques to characterize materials, surfaces, and nanodevices, from the nanometer scale down to atomic resolution. It combines scanning probe microscopy (AFM/STM), near-field optical microscopy (SNOM), and electron microscopy (TEM/ESEM) to investigate morphology, structure, interfaces, and functionality across a wide range of materials.

Equipment

  • Multimode atomic force microscope (AFM)
  • Scanning tunneling microscope (STM) with environmental control
  • Near-field scanning optical microscopy (SNOM) system with infrared (IR) spectroscopy
  • JEOL transmission electron microscope (TEM)
  • FEI Quanta 650 environmental scanning electron microscope (ESEM)
  • Anti-vibration platforms and isolation chambers
  • Image acquisition and analysis systems
Services
  • Nanoscale topographical, structural, and functional characterization
  • Studies of surfaces, interfaces, coatings, and nanoparticles
  • Imaging and analysis of nanodevices and soft and hard materials
  • Correlative measurements using complementary techniques available on the platform
  • User training and advanced technical support
  • Microscopy services for collaborative R&D and industrial projects
