Scanning probe microscope saves space The Vista-100 large-sample scanning probe microscope occupies

Scanning probe microscope saves space The Vista-100 large-sample scanning probe microscope occupies less area than previous models and integrates its controller into a Pentium computer tower. It accepts samples of up to 6 x 6 x 1 in. onto a manual x-y stage. The translator and support block are easily removed without the need for tools for accommodating samples to 11 in. wide and 4 in. high. Gradient-index-lens technology views the sample area and focuses the laser spot on the cantilever probe. The 32-bit Vista software operates under Windows 95 and is compatible with most networks, printers, and application software.
