01 Automatic Observation

Adjusts Laser Beam, Adjusts Parameter Settings During Observation,
and Performs Image Processing Automatically

Operating time when using standard samples and standard cantilever: about 5 minutes*
* For automatic observation with 1 m square field of view and 256 × 256-pixel resolution. Operating times can vary depending on the operator.

Previous SPM systems required practice adjusting the light beam, adjusting parameter settings during observations,
and processing image data, but the SPM-Nanoa automates those processes to help ensure stress-free operations.

STEP Set up the cantilever.
1

Install cantilevers easily
with a mounting jig.

Laser beam adjusted automatically
– Link On –
The system automates the process of shining the laser onto the back of the cantilever and adjusting
the beam so that the reflected light enters the detector. With no steps that require practice, light
beam adjustment can be performed identically by anyone.
