AFM and STM Sample Holders

Yes. Dedicated liquid and fluid cells, including the AFM Flow-Through Cell 18 mm, Mini AFM Liquid Cell, and AFM Fluid Cell Kit 9 mm, are designed for fluid media. They enable in-situ analysis of biological samples such as living cells, proteins, DNA, and lipid bilayers in controlled aqueous solutions.

Yes. Specialized configurations include thin-film sample holders compatible with cover slips, square-cell formats, and precious-metal substrates like gold-on-mica. Additionally, the AFM Liquid Cell for Fiber Samples provides dedicated geometry to mount and analyze delicate materials and biological fiber specimens securely during liquid-cell microscopy.

Yes. The product line includes cooling sample plates for low-temperature studies such as surface crystallization and ice formation, as well as high-temperature sample plates associated with temperature-controlled sample-stage capabilities operating from -30°C to 250°C for nanoscale thermal and phase-transition analysis.

Solid and irregular specimens are accommodated using specialized accessories like the Rock Sample Holder for Petri Dish AFM. This holder securely positions rigid mineral and geological samples within Petri dish setups, enabling nanoscale surface characterization and materials analysis in standard or ambient environments.

Comprehensive technical support is available, including downloadable manuals, stage plate catalogs, user guides, and service documentation. Customers can also access pre-installation assistance and rapid remote troubleshooting through the ZoomAFM fast online service to maintain optimal imaging performance.

Yes. Modular and custom sample holder options are available to support varied substrate sizes, thicknesses, and specialized geometries. Custom AFM liquid cells provide tailored sample preparation and containment for advanced biological and materials science applications requiring controlled liquid conditions.
