Park Systems XE-150 Cross-Functional Atomic Force Microscope with Motorized Sample Stage
With the arrival of the XE-150, Park Systems' large sample AFM, Non-Contact AFM imaging has become the most feasible and practical way to scan your large samples with ultimate AFM resolution and reliability. The XY motorized sample stage is optimized for both small and large sample placement, 150 mm x 150 mm, and allows full travel over the entire sample. Also, the Step-and-Scan automated sample measurement greatly minimizes user's required presence during system operation Read more
Park Systems XE-120 Atomic Force Microscope
Take the award-winning XE-100, shrink it such that it can be placed on top of the many popular inverted optical microscopes, and you have the versatile XE-120, an exceptional AFM with expanded sample and interactivity flexibility. The XE-120 is the research grade AFM with industry's only True Non-Contact mode imaging for both air and liquid imaging. Flexible configurations allow integration with other advanced optical measurement techniques such as Raman spectroscopy. Read more
