The true video-rate of Infinitesima's VideoAFM™ enables the operator of the microscope to explore their sample with nanometre resolution in real-time.

Above, the operator is demonstrating the stability of the VideoAFM™ to external forces and then navigating around the sample using the manual translation stage. The real-time VideoAFM™ movie can be used in combination with an optical viewing system to locate areas of interest with great speed. For example, when visualising processes such as polymer crystallisation, the optical image can be used to locate the crystallisation front and the VideoAFM™ used to deliver continuous high temporal and nanometre spatial resolution.
