Overview

General Description

The MFP-3D-BIOTM AFM provides high resolution images and accurate force measurement in both air and liquid. Features include: Advanced optical capabilities: The MFP-3D-BIO AFM is integrated with an inverted optical microscope (Olympus IX71), supporting optical microscopy techniques like phase contrast and fluorescence microscopy.

• Environmental controls: vibration isolation; fluid cell; petri dish holder and heater.
• Lowest noise: 8 pm cantilever deflection noise (typical), 20 pm guaranteed.
• Closed loop sensors on all three axes provides high precision 3D motion.
• iDriveTM technique simplifies imaging in liquid, ideal for imaging living biological samples
• Integrated with confocal microscopy
