Equipment Description and Usage: Un-compromised AFM Performance on an Inverted Optical Platform. The MFP-3D Coax AFM is a high-performance Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) designed for different research applications, including physics, materials science, polymers, chemistry, nanolithography, bioscience, and quantitative nanoscale measurements. It is a versatile AFM that combines molecular resolution imaging and pN force-based measurements on an inverted fluorescent optical microscope with a high speed camera. Combined with its ultra-low noise performance and unprecedented precision and accuracy, the MFP-3D Coax has raised the bar for AFM instrumentation in different CNS research areas.
