Scientific research
Solver Nano - AFM for science.
Solver Nano is designed by the NT-MDT team that also created High Performancel Systems like Ntegra, NEXT and Spectra which have been proven in the scientific community through many key publications.
Solver Nano is equipped with a professional 100 micron CL (closed loop XYZ) piezotube scanner with low noise capacitance sensors. Capacitance sensors in comparison with strain gauge and optical sensors have lower noise and higher speed in the feedback signal. The CL scanner is controlled by a professional workstation and software.
These capabilities enable all of the basic (http://www.ntmdt.com/spm-principles) AFM techniques in compact SPM design.
