Bruker - Multimode 8

Royce Discovery Centre | University of Sheffield

The Bruker MultiMode 8 is a robust atomic force microscope (AFM) renowned for its high-resolution imaging and versatility. Designed for durability, it delivers reliable nanoscale measurements across various materials, supporting a wide range of applications in materials science, biology, and nanotechnology.

Description

The Multimode 8 is a powerful and versatile atomic force microscope ideal for robust routine imaging. Its advanced capabilities excel in both air and liquid environments, providing high-resolution, reliable imaging of diverse samples, making it an excellent choice for various research and industrial applications. For novice users, the MultiMode 8 has ScanAsyst for automatic image optimisation which eliminates the need to manually adjust complicated imaging parameters. Additionally, our MultiMode 8 has a PeakForce-HR module which facilitates PeakForce Tapping at scan speeds 6x faster than traditional imaging modes without any loss in image quality.
