Seamless from Micro into Nano Scale

The JPK Instruments NanoWizard® AFM is optimised for soft matter and life science applications. As an add-on for inverted optical microscopes it offers the possibility to simultaneously study samples with the AFM and the light microscope. During AFM measurement all the light microscope's operation modes remain constantly available. Even high-resolution fluorescence confocal microscopy and single-molecule fluorescence techniques are possible, since the special objective lenses required can be used.

Imaging, Pulling, Manipulating

Fields of application are imaging of samples such as polymers, biomolecules and living cells in their native environment or air with molecular resolution, study of molecular interactions, e.g. binding forces, or mechanical properties, e.g. elasticity, or nanomanipulation (cutting, moving, nanolithography).
The following accessories are available for the NanoWizard® AFM:
– High-Temperature Heating System: room temperature to 240˚C, for polymers
– Heating-Cooling System: from 0°C to 100°C, for biopolymers
– SmallCell™: Fluid cell for small volumes
– BioCell™: Temperature-controlled fluid cell for biomaterials

Features:
  • Most stable platform for highest flexibility in the applications
  • Integrates with advanced optical imaging (DIC, CLSM, TIRF, FRET …)
  • In-situ imaging in biological/chemical fluids or in air
  • Usable with all standard sample holders like petri dishes, cover slips, slides …
  • Measurements at variable temperatures with perfusion possibilities
  • Large scan field of 100x100x15 µm3
