Key features:
- Highly modular system affords users utmost flexibility
- Superior scanning in fluids, gases, or ambient conditions
- High-resolution open & closed loop scanners provide large scan range
- Unique sample plates aid easy sample preparation
- Convenient vertical sample approach
The Agilent
5500 AFM offers numerous unique features, such as patented top-down scanning
and unrivaled environmental and temperature control, while providing maximum
flexibility and modularity. The universal microscope base permits easy integration
with an environmental chamber or an inverted optical microscope. Sample preparation
is made easy with Agilent Technologies’ unique sample plates, which have been
designed for many different applications, including imaging in fluids.
The 5500
is the ideal multiple-user research system. Its intelligent, modular design
permits simple integration of numerous imaging modes, an electrochemistry kit,
and a video microscope. Agilent’s multipurpose, top-down scanners come
in a range of sizes, both open- and closed-loop, all offering outstanding linearity,
accuracy, versatility, and ease of use. These scanners are perfect for imaging
in fluids or air and under controlled temperature and environmental conditions.
Agilent’s temperature controller uses a patented thermal insulation and
compensation design to deliver the industry’s most precise temperature
control. It allows imaging during temperature changes and is fully compatible
with all imaging modes, including those utilized in fluid. Agilent’s industry-leading
environmental isolation chamber mounts directly to the 5500
microscope and provides a hermetically sealed sample compartment that is
completely isolated from the rest of the system. Agilent’s electrochemical
SPM option includes a complete kit for high-resolution in situ EC-SPM experiments.
Performance capabilities:
- Atomic resolution for electrochemistry, polymers, and soft material
applications
- Supports all imaging modes
- Patented MAC Mode enables unparalleled in-fluid and soft-sample
imaging
- MAC Mode III offers three lock-in amplifiers, use of higher harmonics
- PicoTREC molecular recognition and EC-SPM options extend utility
- Unrivaled environmental and temperature control
