FusionScope AFM-in-SEM

The FusionScope is a correlation AFM/SEM microscope that has been designed from the ground up to allow the advantages of combining these two analytical methods to be seamlessly exploited. For most analyses, it is often desirable to analyze a sample with multiple techniques and look for correlations between parameters. For imaging techniques such as AFM and SEM, this often means that exactly the same area of the sample needs to be analysed. Instead of having to move the sample from one microscope to another or use two different operating systems to analyze the same spot on the sample, FusionScope provides coordinated complementary measurements at the same location within the same user interface. All of this translates into an easy-to-use system that is able to quickly provide more useful and new data.

FusionScope offers all the benefits of a full-featured atomic force microscope combined with SEM. It is capable of most common measurement modes expected from a standard AFM, including contact, dynamic and FIRE modes. With a simple click of a button, you can switch between the subnanometer resolution AFM and the SEM display to get the data you want. Interchangeable consoles easily provide advanced modes such as conductivity AFM (C-AFM) and magnetic force microscopy (MFM).
