This document describes the features and benefits of Agilent Scanning Tunneling Microscopy Scanners, including a wide range of current sensitivity, compatibility with different environments, protection of electronics and piezo elements, and compatibility with Agilent's modular AFM/SPM microscopes.
Agilent STM scanners are designed for imaging in ambient, controlled gas, or fluid environments. They feature a top-down configuration that protects electronics and piezo elements from harsh environments while allowing for easy fluid exchange. These scanners provide stable imaging at pico-ampere and sub-pico-ampere currents to resolve individual atoms and molecules.
