MFP-3D AFM brochure

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides a comprehensive overview of the MFP-3D Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) by Asylum Research, highlighting its technical innovations, specifications, and applications in various scientific fields.
Technical Innovations: The MFP-3D AFM features sensored, closed-loop positioning for high-resolution imaging and reproducibility. It includes an all-digital controller for software adaptability and advanced features like real-time 3D rendering, nanolithography, and Dual AC™ Mode for enhanced imaging capabilities.
Design and Flexibility: The system is designed for flexibility and expandability, offering a range of options such as nanoindentation and Piezoresponse Force Microscopy (PFM) to enhance its capabilities. The MFP-3D is equipped with a low-noise optical lever and a flexured scanner with patented NPS sensors for precise measurements.
Operating Modes: The AFM supports various operating modes, including Contact Mode, AC and Dual AC™, Force Mode, Lateral Force, and specialized modes like EFM and PFM. These modes allow for diverse applications in materials science, life science, and nanotechnology.
Data Acquisition and Control: The system offers extensive data acquisition capabilities, with data size limited only by PC memory. It features high-resolution ADCs and DACs, digital lock-ins, and a DSP for advanced signal processing. Communication with the controller is via USB.
Software and User Interface: The MFP-3D uses an open user interface based on IGOR Pro, providing professional-quality analysis and graphing capabilities. It supports nonlinear curve fitting, image analysis, and automatic spectral fitting, among other features.
Support and Warranty: Asylum Research offers personalized support through "OnSight," a remote support system, and a six-month satisfaction guarantee with a five-year warranty.
Applications: The MFP-3D AFM is suitable for applications in materials science, life science, polymers, nanolithography, and electrical/magnetic measurements, setting a high standard for AFM performance.
