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

• 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
