Atomic Force Microscopy Service at IMDEA Nanoscience

The Atomic Force Microscopy Service at IMDEA Nanoscience (Madrid, Spain) provides access to several atomic force microscopes for structural, mechanical, electric or magnetic characterization with nanometric resolution on very different materials (metals, polymers, biological, etc). This scientific-technological facility offers an advanced, multidisciplinary and dynamic support to research groups and private institutions.

• Bruker/JPK Nanowizard V: Available for topographic characterization in contact, dynamic and force-spectroscopy-based modes in air and liquid. It also allows nanomechanical characterization of surfaces and fast-scan measurements up to 400 lines/s in 2x2 um2 areas. Due to its scanning by probe configuration, it can be attached to an inverted Nikon optical microscope allowing correlative optical measurements (including fluorescence) on transparent samples.
• JPK Nanowizard II: Available for topographic characterization in contact and dynamic in air and liquid enviroments.
• NT-MDT Ntegra Prima: Available for typical topographic characterization, electrical and magnetic characterization.
• Nanotec Cervantes: Available for topographic measurements in contact, dynamic and jumping modes. It also includes magnetic and electrical modes (EFM, KPM, CAFM).
