Used VEECO / DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS AKH 262 #9258935 for sale

VEECO / DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS AKH 262 is an advanced atomic force microscope (AFM) designed for advanced imaging and analysis. It is a small, compact, and portable solution with a high degree of resolution and accuracy. The system is based on a piezo actuator based Z-axis and a high-speed X-Y sample scanner. AFMs such as VEECO AKH 262 offer a unique insight into nanoscale properties, such as image morphology, material properties, dynamical properties, and forces. The primary components of DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS AKH 262 are the Sample Stage, the Piezoelectric Actuator, the X-Y Piezoelectric Scanner, and the Probe. The sample stage allows for movement of the sample across the XY-plane during scanning and is secured to the frame of the microscope. The Piezoelectric Actuator controls the movement of the sample along the Z-axis and ensures accurate positioning. The X-Y Piezoelectric Scanner moves the sample along the XY plane during imaging. The Probe is the component that interacts directly with the sample and is essential to acquiring accurate images. AKH 262 is capable of imaging in two different scanning modes, contact mode and non-contact mode. Contact mode is best suited for imaging flat surfaces while non-contact mode is suitable for imaging uneven, non-uniform surfaces. Other applications of VEECO / DIGITAL INSTRUMENTS AKH 262 include imaging biological samples at the nanoscale, covalently attaching molecules such as proteins to surfaces, measuring surface adhesion and friction forces, measuring mechanical properties, determining temperature-induced changes in surface structure, and probing electrical and optical properties. The system also features various advanced capabilities, such as force-distance curves, biomarker identification, imaging in liquid, phase imaging and electrochemical imaging. The AFM is designed to be easy to use and comes with various user friendly software which allows for customization of imaging parameters and post-processing of image data. VEECO AKH 262 is an invaluable tool for research, development and many industries. It offers an alternative way of investigating the properties of materials and phenomena that are usually inaccessible to optical microscopy. It offers a great combination of features, accuracy, and flexibility at affordable prices.
