The NEOS is a perfectly hybridized tool. It was designed focusing on ease of use in combination with best optical and AFM performance with the look and feel of a classical optical microscope. The rigid granite stand provides the stability required for AFM, the handling of the optical components and the NANOS AFM scanning head is intuitive and straight forward.

The NEOS uses fiber-optic interferometry (FOI) as the basic principle for the detection of cantilever deflection, providing superior sensitivity combined with a truly calibrated measurement of the cantilever’s deflection and amplitude, respectively.

The NEOS implements Bruker’s unique adjustment-free cantilever and probe exchange system that makes probe replacements quick and simple. It makes the laser adjustment after tip exchange needless providing best ease of use.

The integrated concept includes an easy to use control and evaluation software.
