attoAFM II
low temperature atomic force microscope, modular and flexible,
interferometric sensor
:.........................................................................................
Analogous to the attoAFM I, the attoAFM II is an atomic force
microscope built around an optical fiber based interferometer.
The sensor is compatible with any commercial cantilever and measures
the vertical deflection of the cantilever with picometer resolution.
The microscope is designed to work in contact, non contact, and
modulation mode. The attoAFM II has been designed to offer highest
flexibility to the user. A second set of low temperature compatible
xyz positioners enables adjustment of the optical fiber / cantilever
also inside the cryostat after cooling down the microscope. Thus,
ultimate flexibility is provided, e.g. upgrading the system to
achieve SNOM functionality.
This system guarantees highest resolution imaging and optimized
sensor adjustment in any environment: at room or low temperature,
high magnetic field, and under high vacuum condition.
