AFSEM® — AFM in-situ SEM

Two microscopes are better than one
GETec Microscopy offers innovative Atomic Force Microscopy solutions for seamless integration into existing host systems like Scanning Electron Microscopes. In partnership with our customers, we develop dedicated nano analysis tools based on pre-engineered modules.
AFSEM® is an AFM by GETec Microscopy, designed for integration into an SEM or Dualbeam (SEM/FIB) microscope. It’s open access design allows to simultaneously operate SEM and AFM inside the SEM vacuum chamber. The complimentary image data of AFM and SEM enable unique characterization of your sample.
