Video-rate imaging from your AFM

The VideoAFM™ is capable of delivering real-time images at video frame rates. Infinitesima has integrated a large sample capability into the VideoAFM™ using ScanningLever™ technology. The VideoAFM enables the ability to observe processes in millisecond resolution and explore large areas at unprecedented rates. Images are collected, processed, displayed and recorded simultaneously, making the VideoAFM™ the first truly interactive scanning probe microscope product.

Comparison

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

In the movie, 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 real-time video at the nano-scale.
