Summary
Machine-generated summaryA research institution in Germany is purchasing a brand-new, modularly expandable atomic force microscope (AFM), funded as a DFG large-scale instrument. The system will be used for high-resolution surface characterisation and quantitative analysis of the mechanical, adhesive, tribological and electrical properties of particles, fibres, membranes, coated surfaces and biological samples. Key applications include force spectroscopy, local nanomechanics, adhesion and friction measurements, and studies of single cells and particles in liquids. Measurement data will be used to parameterise and validate physical contact, adhesion and deformation models and to model particulate systems. Detailed requirements are set out in the specification documents.
