Clark Hall D15 (Primary Staff: Steve Kriske; Secondary Staff: Alicia Tripp)
The Asylum MFP-3D is an extremely versatile, research-oriented scanning probe microscope mounted on an Olympus IX-71 inverted optical microscope platform. The 3D closed-loop scanner has a 90 µm range and 5 Å resolution in the X and Y directions and a 15 µm range and 0.6 Å resolution in the Z direction. In addition to basic contact and AC mode topographic scanning, the MFP-3D has many unique capabilities and modules to accommodate a wide variety of experiments.
Experimental Capabilities
- Precise force/stiffness measurements
- Conductive probe AFM and other electrical techniques via the ORCA module
- High-voltage piezo force microscopy (PFM)
- Measurements in fluids (liquid droplet or gas/liquid in a sealed cell)
- Measurements in controlled humidity environments via the humidity sensing cell
- Measurements requiring optical excitation of the sample and/or inverted viewing through a transparent substrate
- Nanolithography and related techniques
- Automated sample property (force curve, I-V curve, etc.) point mapping
- High-resolution scanning (up to 4096 points and lines)
- Fluorescence optical microscopy
