Overview attoMICROSCOPY xs
the only scanning probe microscopes for the PPMS® certified and endorsed by
attocube systems‘ scanning probe microscope family (AFM, MFM,
SHPM, CFM, Raman) is also available for any 1” (25 mm) bore size cryostat, in particular the Quantum Design PPMS®. Despite their compactness, all xs-microscopes provide a coarse travel range of 3 x 3 x 2.5
mm3 and a scan range of 15 x 15 μm2 at low temperature (4 K).
The outstanding stability of the microscopes allows investigation
of nm-sized structures with highest resolution. PPMS users can thus
complement their existing equipment with a whole range of versatile
tools for state-of-the-art research on the nanometer scale.
Low vibration levels are a crucial prerequisite for any kind of scanning
probe microscopy experiment. Hence, each xs-microscope is accom-
panied by a suitable attoDAMP anti-vibration cabinet, tailor-made
for the corresponding cryostat, be it a standard PPMS dewar, LN2
shielded with or without high-capacity, or equipped with a reliquefier
or EverCool option. attocube even covers the environmental shield
option with a extra-large heavy-duty attoDAMP version to make sure
your planned experiment runs smoothly in your existing dewar (see
compatibility chart* on page 163 for performance details).
Thanks to the close and long-standing relationship between Quantum
Design and attocube, a smooth installation as well as flawless operation of the PPMS-SPM instruments is ensured, as proven in numerous
laboratories worldwide.
