Scanning Probe Microscope Ntegra Vita

The integrating of the inverted microscope objective into the central base becouse of high mechanical rigidity provides stability of the system making quality images and long-term experiments possible. Inverted optical microscope stability is not so important any more.

Product Features

  • Different liquid cells are available: hermetic chemically stable liquid flow cell with a possibility of the temperature control at elevated temperatures; closed liquid flow temperature controlled cell for operating with Petri dishes; replaceable heater.
  • Hermetic liquid cell (MP4LCNTF)
    - Flow-through possibility and heating (up to 60oC stability ~0,05°C)
    - Control and changing of biochemical environment in solution during measurements
    - Range of sample positioning 1x1 mm, positioning resolution 5 um.
    - Chemically stable materials (stainless steel, fluoroplast) allow operation in aggressive solvents such as H2SO4, HCl.
  • Quasi-hermetic liquid cell for Petri dishes (MP5LCNTF)
    - Flow-through possibility and heating up to 50°C.
    - Range of sample positioning 1x1 mm, positioning resolution 5 um.
    - Removable heater for the separate cleaning. The heater and the temperature control sensor are located inside the fluoroplastic tube.
    - Changeable probe holder with a glass prism and a silastic membrane
