PanScan Freedom
World’s first closed cycle cryogen-free system for stable low temp performance, unprecedented low drift, exceptional spectroscopy, and atomic resolution in a surprisingly compact and affordable package.
PanScan Lumin
The PanScan Lumin-SLT’s unique combination of high efficiency optics and high stability SPM enables the study of the interplay among morphological, optical and electronic properties of a wide range of materials.
PanScan Freedom Tesla
World’s first closed-cycle cryogen-free SPM system, plus a closed-cycle cryogen-free superconducting high-Tesla magnet, all in one. Freedom performance, and high magnetic fields — without ever paying for liquid cryogens.
PanScan FLOW
For researchers who need LT temperatures less frequently, PanScan FLOW provides easy flexibility. Readily switches between LN2 (82 K), LHe (12 K) and RT. Same rock-solid stability and uniform tip/sample temperature as Freedom.
PanScan RT
PanScan RT Ambient or UHV provides a strong SPM foundation as is, and also a clean, economical path to LT Flow or Freedom when needed. From Subsystems to Full Systems, PanScan is an ideal lab choice.
PanScan Scanner
PanScan Powerhouse: Ultra-stable and rigid, ultra-low drift, STM/qPlus-AFM, mK to 400 K, high mag field compatibility. Proven under grueling conditions, peer-reviewed publications. From Kits to ground-breaking Closed-Cycle.
Beetle UHV VT STM
The classic standard in VT STM, with the best stability from 25K to 1500K
Beetle UHV VT AFM
Performance and versatility from the most mechanically and thermally stable VT SPMs available
Beetle UHV VT VMF
Ex-vacuum electromagnets require no cooling and provide continuously variable & reversible fields up to 1 Tesla. The field can be varied real-time while imaging.
Beetle UHV VT AFM/SEM
Bridging the gap between resolution and field of view. SEM-guided probe placement in a wide field of view, integrated with uncompromised AFM/STM resolution. Your science on target.
Beetle Ambient STM/AFM
Atmospheric Beetle systems provide a versatile atmospheric STM/AFM-beam deflection nanotech research instrument. RHK’s thoughtful, modular design allows a straightforward, economical upgrade path to high-vacuum or UHV variable temperature capabilities when research objectives change.
R10 is the latest advance in the continuing evolution of the R-Series Family of Controllers. With its fresh, forward-looking emphasis on Modularity as its guiding principle, R10 presents a new Design Ethos to the world-wide SPM research community. RHK’s unique Design Ethos brings practical adaptability and confident configurability to the forefront.
