Award-Winning Research-Grade AFM with Step-and-Scan Automation

The XE-100 is our flagship AFM with reduced drift rate and the Step-and-Scan Automation that provides the ultimate AFM/SPM performance in Non-Contact nanoscale metrology. It is a mid-priced system for materials science, polymers, electrochemistry and other applications in nanoscience and engineering. It can adopt a wide range of optical coupling with its open side access.

Artifact Free Imaging by Crosstalk Elimination
  • Two independent, closed- loop XY and Z flexure scanners for sample and tip
  • Out of plane motion of less than 2 nm over entire scan range
