Scanning probe microscopes

Description

The procurement consists of the purchase, delivery and installation of a fully functioning variable-temperature Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) with at least one (1) year warranty. This includes: — scanning probe head (with capabilities of performing both scanning tunneling microscopy, STM and non-contact atomic force microscopy, AFM), — scanning stage, — mechanical support and integration, — ul-Trahigh Vacuum (UHV) chamber for sample preparation, — STM/AFM control unit, — cables, — control computer, — all necessary control software, — documentation and all other items necessary for operation of the SPM. UHV equipment such as: — pumps, — pressure gauges, — bake-out equipment, etc. must be included, and the system must be fully functioning.
