Applications for atomic force microscopes include the visualization and measurement of surface features having nanometer sized dimensions. Research and development laboratories as well as process control environments utilise this technique.
Not all AFM applications require ultramicrotomy but one of the largest market segments, polymeric materials, does. The quality of information from an ultramicrotome-planed surface is better than with any other planing technique, no smearing, no "Comettailes", no embedded abrasive, no contamination. |
