Veeco Multimode Nanoscope III SPM

A Veeco (formerly Digital Instruments) Nanoscope III was installed in September 2005.

This instrument is capable of tapping and contact-mode atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning tunneling microscopy (STM), magnetic force microscopy, and force-modulation microscopy.

In addition, it has a multimode heater and cooler for in-situ studies.
