The Agilent 5100 AFM/SPM microscope is a high-performance atomic force microscope designed for multi-user labs and educational environments. It is an entry-level product with many of the same features as Agilent’s sophisticated 5500 AFM/SPM microscope, but at a lower price. The microscope delivers atomic-scale resolution as well as direct video access to the scan area, making it ideal for a variety of applications.
The Agilent 5100 AFM/SPM microscope is a cost-effective, entry-level system offering high-resolution imaging capabilities. It features a single multipurpose scanner with interchangeable nose cones that allow users to switch between various imaging modes, including Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Lateral Force Microscopy (LFM), and Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM). The open-top design facilitates unobstructed optical viewing of the cantilever for easy tip-sample alignment.
| Scanning range (Large scanner) | 90nm x 90nm |
|---|---|
| Z range (Large scanner) | 8um |
| Vertical noise (Large scanner) | 0.5 A RMS |
| Scanning range (Small scanner) | 9um x Spm |
| Z range (Small scanner) | 2um |
| Vertical noise (Small scanner) | < 0.2 A RMS |
