Scanning tunneling microscope NaioSTM

laboratoryeducationalbenchtop

The NaioSTM is a scanning tunneling microscope that brings together scan head and controller in a single instrument for even simpler installation, maximized ease of use, and straightforward transportability. The setup is robust against vibrations and can be used to achieve atomic resolution on HOPG in standard classroom situations. With its 204 × 204 mm footprint it hardly takes up any workbench space. • Excellent stability • Easy to learn a use • Atomic resolution in 5 minutes Smart Design The purposeful design is perfectly suited to the needs of educational institutions: the system integrates scan head, controller, air-flow shielding with a magnifying glass to aid the initial approach, and vibration isolation on a heavy stone table.  Safe and Stable The very small mechanical loop of < 10 mm provides the stability to achieve atomic resolution on a coffee table or in a class room. Passive vibration isolation feet protect measurements against disturbances, making the system very robust during operation. The system functions without high voltage, making it safe in unexperienced hands. See Atoms in Minutes The smart design not only provides good performance, but also makes the NaioSTM very easy to use. All that is required in terms of setup is to connect 2 cables: power and USB. Scanning tips are simply cut from Pt/lr wire, no hazardous substances are required to etch the tips. The process from setup up to seeing the first successful images can be achieved within a few minutes. The intuitive software is equipped with helpful wizards to guide you through the
