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

Specifications

Specifications:

  • X&Y axes: 90µm range in closed loop; resolution 0.5 nm limited only by sensor noise. Sensor linearity better than 0.5%.
  • Z axis: >15 µm range; resolution 0.25 nm limited only by sensor noise. Sensor linearity better than 0.05%.
  • Cantilever deflection measurement: Noise <0.02 nm; typical 0.008 nm. Linearity better than 0.5%. Measures cantilever resonances up to 2 MHz standard.

Technology Overview - Remove if multiple tools use the same technology/process

 Description of the science behind the process. Include figures and diagrams if applicable.

 

Sample Requirements and Preparation

Samples that may be used in the tool, materials that are compatible/incompatible, and the required cleaning before the tool may be used. May include both an "ideal" clean and a minimum required clean. Also include BOE/oxide removal, dehydration, or any recommended post process steps.

 

Standard Operating Procedure

Standard procedure for tool operation, base off established Birck SOPs.
