ScanAsyst Atomic Force Microscopy Imaging Mode

The World's First Imaging Mode With Automatic Image Optimization Technology

The ScanAsyst™ atomic force microscopy imaging mode is the world's first image-optimization scan mode for AFM microscopes. This patent-pending innovation utilizes intelligent algorithms to automatically and continuously monitor image quality, and to make the appropriate parameter adjustments. This frees researchers from the complex and tedious task of adjusting setpoints, feedback gains, and scan rates, making imaging as easy as simply selecting a scan area and scan size for almost any sample in either air or fluid.

ScanAsyst is based on Bruker's Peak Force Tapping™ mode. This proprietary mode performs a very fast force curve at every pixel in the image. The peak force of each of these curves is then used as the imaging feedback signal, providing direct force control. This allows it to operate at even lower forces than TappingMode, which helps protect delicate samples and tips.

Performance, Speed, and Usability

  • Faster, More Consistent Expert-Quality Results
  • Direct Force Control Protects Samples and Probes
  • Easier Imaging in Air or Fluid on Almost Any Sample

If you have an older AFM microscope please contact Bruker to find out how to upgrade it to an AFM with ScanAsyst capability.
