UHV-ULT STM / AFM USM-1200 Result Gallery (Sample Image Data)

USM-1200 series makes it possible to observe the sample surface in UHV at ultra-low temperature by STM and/or AFM.
  • STM system: USM-1200S
  • AFM system: USM-1200A
  • STM/AFM system: USM-1200SA
This series realize high performance, multi-functional, and easy-to use UHV LT SPM in good balance.
This series is adaptable to your research requirements such as irradiation of light or radiation, deposition of atom, gas, or molecules, and measurement of luminescence, etc.
Other analytical tools are also combined to the system for extending applications.
