Agilent Technologies Introduces High-Resolution Large Stage Atomic Force Microscope

WEBWIRE – Monday, July 14, 2008 Agilent Technologies Inc. today announced the availability of the Agilent 5600LS, a high-resolution atomic force microscope that uses a fully addressable 200mm x 200mm stage to image large samples in air or smaller samples in liquid. The 5600LS also enables high-resolution imaging of a small sample area using an AFM or STM scanner. Its new, low-noise AFM design (.05nm) guarantees single atomic steps. "We have engineered the 5600LS to provide university and industry researchers maximum imaging versatility" said Jeff Jones, operations manager for Agilent’s AFM facility in Chandler, Ariz. "This high-precision scientific instrument is ideal for a wide range of nanotechnology applications, including semiconductor, data storage, polymers, materials science and life science studies" Samples up to 8...
