Park Systems Corp. announced the release of its latest atomic force microscopy (AFM) innovation, Park FX200, designed for 200 mm samples. The FX200 is developed to meet the needs of both research and industrial applications, offering significant advancements in large-sample AFM technology.

The FX200 features an advanced mechanical structure that ensures a significantly lower noise floor and minimal thermal drift, providing increased stability during measurements. This enhancement promotes greater accuracy and reliable performance over extended operation periods. With faster Z servo performance, the FX200 enables rapid and precise scanning across large sample areas.

Its enhanced high-power sample view with autofocus allows researchers to achieve exceptional clarity and detail in AFM imaging, regardless of sample type or condition. The FX200 includes several automated features to streamline operations and maximize efficiency. Automatic probe recognition and exchange eliminate manual adjustments, while a reduced laser spot size and automatic alignments improve measurement accuracy and consistency.

Macro optics provides a full 200 mm sample view, allowing comprehensive analysis without the need for stitching multiple images. This capability is enhanced by automatic sequential measurements at predefined coordinates, facilitating efficient data collection across large sample areas. Park FX200 is designed with user convenience in mind, featuring automatic AFM scan parameter settings.

This intuitive interface allows researchers to focus on their scientific objectives rather than instrument configuration, enhancing productivity and workflow efficiency. Furthermore, its superior performance capabilities make it ideal for a wide range of research and industrial applications, including investigating surface morphology, characterizing mechanical properties, and exploring nanoscale phenomena, delivering reliable results for contemporary scientific endeavors. Representing a significant advancement in AFM technology, Park FX200 offers enhanced precision, automated efficiency, and comprehensive sample visualization.
