Scanning Probe Microscope at NML was installed in the year 2004. It works at ambient conditions, is mounted on a vibration free table and has vibration proof chamber to reduce noise. The tip vibrations are monitored by a laser diode based detection system. Microscope is capable of characterizing samples upto a maximum diameter of 35 mm and thickness 5 mm. Two scanners are available : 20 and 100µm which scans down to atomic resolution. The X-Y resolution is 1 Ǻ and Z-resolution is 0.1 Ǻ. It can be used to characterize Metallic, Ceramic, and Biological samples .
