Bruker Multimode 8-HR

The MultiMode^® platform’s long history of success is based on its combination of superior resolution, performance, and unparalleled versatility and productivity. The MultiMode 8-HR atomic force microscope (AFM) further advances these capabilities to provide significant improvements in imaging speed, resolution, and nanomechanical performance with higher speed PeakForce Tapping®, enhanced PeakForce QNM^®, new FASTForce Volume, and exclusive Bruker probes technology.

MultiMode 8-HR offers a variety of options to monitor signals, modify real-time operation, and implement custom offline analysis. Standard NanoScope^® tools exist for direct MATLAB import of data and ASCII export.You can monitor internal signals and customize signal inputs with Virtual SAM, or expand your capabilities with optional SAM lll. Control of AFM functions are available through optional nanolithography and NanoScope COM interface. Ultimately, you can leverage NanoScope Open-Access capabilities to extend your experiments beyond standard AFM modes to develop your own modes for obtaining new unique datasets.

The MultiMode 8-HR has been designed to take the fullest advantage of PeakForce Tapping technology, providing 6X faster PeakForce Tapping imaging in air compared to most conventional AFMs, with no loss of performance.

MultiMode 8-HR is available with both sample heating and cooling capabilities. The low-range option enables heating and cooling between -35°C and 100°C in either air or fluids. The high-range option heats up to 250°C and is often used to study polymer phase transitions. It is unique in that it allows both gas purging to prevent sample oxidation and tip heating to prevent tip contamination. Environmental control accessories are available both integrated with the heater/cooler options or as separate environmental chambers.
