The ezSTM is not just a tool; it’s an experience. Engineered for efficiency, this microscope boasts a simple setup—just five minutes, and you’re on your way to observing atomic structures! At its core, the ezSTM employs the principles of quantum tunneling, allowing electrons to flow between a conductive tip and sample surface. This ingenious design results in remarkable tunnel current readings, leading to stunning atomic resolutions.
What’s included? Everything you need is snugly packed in a compact suitcase: the controller, the scanner head, a vibration isolation apparatus, and even a laptop. Installation is seamless—just plug in the power and USB cables, launch the intuitive software, and you’re ready to take measurements. No complicated processes here! The ezSTM is your reliable partner for both educational and research endeavors, allowing you to unlock the mysteries of the atomic world with remarkable affordability and performance. Get ready to explore with ease!
The flexible design of the ezSTM allows to replace/move the scan head easily, and it provides easy usage for customers with the small footprint by an ultimate performance. Because the ezSTM takes a small space, and does not heavy, it can be transport easily.
Pt/Ir wire which is more simple and harmless than tip etching by dangerous chemicals is cut as a tip for scanning, and tip replacement is very simple which makes the ezSTM user-friendly. NanoMagnetics Instruments provides Pt/Ir wire in the ezSTM system User Kit for the customers.
Side view camera is located on the ezSTM scanner head, and it is useful to observe the sample, tip and the movement. The movement is done by ultrasonic motors. Also, maximum scan area of the ezSTM is 1x1x0.5 um. After all steps, you will be able to scan at the atomic resolution for your samples.
