Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) combined to Raman Spectroscopy Short Description The technique can be used to characterize surface properties at the atomic level, with resolutions at the nanometer scale, and in combination with the TERS vibrational techniques for molecular sensitivity. Description of the technique The Horiba Xplora Plus Confocal Raman Microscope is coupled to an Scanning Probe Microscope allowing co-localized …

Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) with high-precision EDS

Short Description Allows high quality imaging of poor electrical conductors by both secondary and backscattered electrons Designed for extreme versatility of experimental and characterization approaches. Energy dispersive X-ray analysis allowing identification of elemental distribution from sub-micrometre areas of the specimens. Description of the technique The Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) is a TESCAN VEGA 4 equipped with a GMU chamber and …

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is a topological analysis technique which belongs to the class of Scanning Probe Microscopy technics. A nanometric tip mounted on a cantilever is made to scroll on the analysed substrate. In order to keep constant the force the cantilever experiences because of the sample, the distance between the sample and the cantilever is varied. We can …
