The world’s most accurate atomic force microscope (AFM) Park Systems NX10

Data accuracy is of paramount importance to nanotechnology researchers as the credibility of their research depends upon accurate results. The NX10, the world’s most accurate AFM, is the flagship AFM of Park Systems’ new product line. The NX10 brings unparalleled imaging accuracy, scan speeds, and tip life to the next generation of researchers, all at an affordable price. The new user interface features improved user friendliness and ease of use, while the new hardware features metal components that are thermally matched to reduce drift.

The main features of our new product are:

  • 2D Flexure-Guided XY Scanner with 50 µm x 50 µm Scan Range

  • High Speed Z Scanner with 15 µm Scan Range

  • Low Noise XYZ Position Sensors

  • Embedded Motorized XY Sample Stage

  • Expansion Slot for Advanced SPM Modes and Options

  • Accessible Sample Holder

  • High resolution CCD

  • Integrated LED illumination

  • Direct On-axis High Power Optic

Accurate AFM Imaging by Crosstalk Elimination
• Industry leading XYZ scan linearity with two independent flexure scanners for sample and tip
