Angstrom Advanced AA5000 Multi-function SPM Systems

Introductions

AA5000 Scanning Probe Microscope is Angstrom most innovated model. AA5000 features a full coverage of SPM techniques-STM, AFM, LFM Conductive AFM, MFM, EFM, Environmental Control SPM and Nano-Processing... AA5000 is designed to provide images of atomic scale up to 100 micrometer. With a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) TMS320C642 inside the system, AA5000 can handle complicated multi-functional tasks efficiently. A real-time operating system of SPM/DNA is embedded in AA5000 SPM system.
