Atomic force microscopy suppliers differ most in modularity: whether one base system takes contact, tapping, electrochemical and conductive AFM modes, or whether each needs separate hardware. The other differentiators are long-term parts availability for the platform, software access for custom spectroscopy routines, and whether technical guidance is reachable once the warranty period ends.
