The nanoFabUK symposium will serve as a dynamic learning and networking platform for Research Technical Professionals (RTPs) that manage or work primarily in academic micro/nanofabrication and characterisation facilities (cleanrooms) from around the UK.
Quantum Design UK and Ireland will be attending the event with QD Microscopy’s Christian Schwalb, who will also be giving a talk about the FusionScope, our correlative AFM/SEM Microscopy Platform. More details on that to follow.
FusionScope™ from QD Microscopy
Easy to use Correlative AFM/SEM Microscopy Platform
FusionScope is an easy-to-use correlative microscopy platform designed from the ground up to add the benefits of SEM imaging to a wide range of AFM measurement techniques.
Combine the complementary strengths of AFM and SEM like never before! The FusionScope fully integrates a wide range of advanced AFM measurement techniques with the benefits of SEM imaging. Seamlessly image your sample, identify areas of interest, measure your sample, and combine your imaging data in real time.
My name is Chris Schwalb, and I lead the Quantum Design Microscopy team at our European Headquarters in Darmstadt, Germany. I have been working in the field of correlative microscopy for more than 15 years and love exciting technology.
Chris Schwalb, COO, QD Microscopy
The FusionScope is very exciting for nanoscale analysis because it is the first true correlative microscopy platform designed from the ground up to seamlessly add the benefits of SEM imaging to a wide range of AFM measurement techniques.
This allows users to perform direct in-situ combinations of these complimentary techniques due to the simultaneous operation of SEM and AFM inside one single vacuum chamber. Especially exciting is the capability to precisely navigate the AFM cantilever tip via the SEM, which enables users to analyse hard-to-reach sample areas or easily locate nanometre-sized objects and structures on your sample surface.
In addition, all of the AFM and SEM data can be directly correlated and combined within a single software interface using FusionScope’s joint coordinate system.
