Global Market Report on Atomic Force Microscopes and AFM Probes

Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "The World Market for Atomic Force Microscopes and AFM Probes: Revised and Updated to 2011" report to their offering.

World market sales for AFMs in 2010 were approximately US$107.67 million. The main market for AFMs is in the semiconductors and electronics sector were they are routinely used in product inspection and failure analysis for measuring submicrometer features on IC-boards. They are also widely used in universities, research facilities and scientific centers worldwide. In production environments (such as microelectronics and solar), precision manufacturing industries,(such as medical device manufacturing, automotive and aerospace) and other related industries, AFMs enable users to monitor their products throughout the manufacturing process to improve yields, reduce costs, and improve product quality.
