Measurement Options
Key features
Material Nanocharacterization
The unique concept of the attoDRY LAB platform comprises a variety of
measurement options, which can be easily integrated and exchanged
according to diverse research requirements and material properties.
These range from scanning probe to confocal microscopy and transport
measurement inserts. Apart from the seamless integration, the most
outstanding features of the attoDRY LAB microscopes is the unmatched
Ultra large scan range
All microscopes of the attoDRY LAB product line feature a massive increase of scan range by more than a factor of 4 compared
to our previous systems. At 80 µm x 80 µm at room temperature,
and 125 µm x 125 µm at liquid helium temperatures, this covers
an area more than 16 times larger than before, and two orders of
magnitude larger than conventional scan tubes.
ultra-large scan range of up to 125 µm, and the closed loop scan engine
based on our award-winning FPSensor. Features such as quick exchange
sample holder with electrical contacts, and an alignment-free cantilver
holder sustainably improve the ease of use of all available measurement options. This considerably minimizes the time spent to make the
instrument work, and therefore maximizes the scientific output.
Proven performance
Unlike any other manufacturer, attocube has achieved measured
vibration and noise levels with our SPMs and dry cryostats that speak
for themselves. The unique combination of our attoDRY1100/2100
with our ultra-stable and rigid microscopes ensures a flawless operaScan engine
tion, and proven specifications even for delicate scanning probe measurement tasks in the harsh environment of a noisy pulse-tube cooler.
Closed loop scanning
Ease of use
attocube presents the first commercial closed loop scan system
for cryogenic and variable temperatures and high magnetic
fields: based on the interferometric attoFPSensor, the system
reaches a resolution of less than 1 nm. Furthermore, it completely eliminates the hysteresis inherent to any piezo-based scanner.
By providing intuitive software interfaces as well as sophisticated
hardware, attocube enables the user to concentrate on the measurements and his research rather than on trying to make a complex instrument work. Examples are our alignment-free cantilever
holder, the quick exchange sample holders as well as the updated
Daisy software interface of the ASC500 SPM controller.
