Bruker Dimension XR

Bruker’s Dimension XR scanning probe microscope (SPM) systems incorporate decades of research and technological innovation. With routine atomic defect resolution, and a host of unique technologies including PeakForce Tapping®, DataCube modes, SECM and AFM-nDMA, they deliver the utmost performance and capability. The Dimension XR family of SPMs package these technologies into turnkey solutions to address nanomechanical, nanoelectrical, and electrochemical applications. Quantification of materials and active nanoscale systems in air, fluid, electrical, or chemically reactive environments has never been easier.

XR Nanomechanics:
XR Nanomechanics provides a range of modes to comprehensively detect the smallest structures with spatial resolution down to sub-molecular units of polymer chains. Researchers correlate nanomechanics data to bulk DMA and nanoidentation methods with our proprietary AFM-nDMA™ mode. Achieve quantifiable nanoscale characterization extending from soft sticky hydrogels and composites to stiff metals and ceramics.

XR Nanoelectrical:
Dimension XR Nanoelectrical configuration covers the broadest array of electrical AFM techniques in a single system. Researchers capture electrical spectra in every pixel correlated with mechanical property measurements with the proprietary DataCube modes. This system delivers previously unattainable information from a single measurement.

XR Nanoelectrochemical:
The nanoelectrical configuration enables robust AFM-based scanning electrochemical microscopy (AFM-SECM) and electrochemical AFM (EC-AFM). AFM operators acquire electrochemical information with <100 nm spatial resolution and perform simultaneous electrochemical, electrical, and mechanical mapping in a single system.

From point defects in liquid and stiffness maps to atomic resolution in air and conductivity maps, Dimension XR systems deliver highest resolution in all measurements. They utilize Bruker’s proprietary PeakForce Tapping technology to achieve both hard and soft matter performance benchmarks, including crystal defect resolution and molecular defects in polymers. The same technology plays an equally important role in resolving the smallest asperities on roughened glass over hundreds of images. The systems combine PeakForce Tapping with extreme stability, unique probes technology, and Bruker’s decades of experience in tip scanning innovation. The result is highest resolution imaging consistently, completely independent of sample size, weight, or medium – and for any application.
