New AFM platform from Anasys Instruments

Anasys Instruments is dedicated to delivering innovative products and solutions that measure nanoscale material properties. Understanding structure-property correlation, especially for samples with spatially varying physical and chemical properties, is critical in a diverse range of fields, including polymers, materials science, life science, semiconductors, and data storage, to name but a few. Anasys Instruments introduced nanothermal analysis (nano-TAT) based on self-heating ThermaLeverT AFM cantilever probes in 2006, allowing nanoscale measurements of thermal properties. In 2010, Anasys Instruments proudly introduced the breakthrough multiple award-winning nanoIRT technology. This AFM-based solution enables chemical characterization utilizing infrared spectroscopy techniques at the nanoscale. By combining AFM and infrared spectroscopy, Anasys Instruments offers researchers an unprecedented suite of chemical, mechanical, and thermal property measurement capabilities.
