ACST AFM
ACST Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is a state-of-the-art instrument and has been designed in a bottoms-up approach for both ease-of-use and robustness. It is a truly multidisciplinary metrology and industry standard tool.

Conductive Cell: The ACST conductive-AFM (C-AFM) accessory provides surface conductivity images when used as an accessory with ACST AFM. The CAFM creates images showing pixel-by-pixel conductivity. Conductivity is measured using any DC voltage (from -10 to +10 volts) with currents ranging from picoamps to 10 microamps.
Enviornmental Cell: The ACST environmental AFM cell is used for scanning samples in liquid or inert gas under a controlled environment. The environmental cell is a sealed chamber with an inlet and outlet ports used to introduce liquids or gases of interest to run an experiment. It is designed in such a way to hold the AFM tip and the sample under the desired environment.
