LT-SPM reliable workhorse

A Reliable Workhorse

For nearly 25 years, our 4 K LT-STM/AFM unit has stood as a reliable workhorse, empowering you to concentrate on outcomes. With variable temperature capabilities ranging from 5 to 300 K and the introduction of our fully compatible low-temperature atomic force microscope in 2007, you can seamlessly push the boundaries of surface science.

Let the Data Speak for Itself

STS spectroscopy data

STS

Minimal modulation (< μV) bypassed modulation effects, underlining STM temperature's role in energy resolution.

STM atomic resolution results

STM

Our images reveal genuine atomic resolution (2 pm), herringbone (20 pm), and a superimposed standing wave — no decorated tips required.

AFM qPlus sensor data

AFM

nc-AFM assesses both conductive and insulating surfaces. We employed a qPlus® sensor with decorated tips (Xe or CO) on a range of benchmarking surfaces.
