Description

VistaScope is a unique AFM with flexible & full optical access to the tip/sample region. The VistaScope controller comes equipped with multiple lock-in amplifiers that allow patented photo-induced force microscopy (PiFM) and patented demodulation technique for background suppressed scattering scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM). It provides the ultimate capability in tip-enhanced optical microscopy as well as co-located AFM and far field optical techniques such as confocal Raman and confocal photoluminescence.

Modes
• Photo-induced Force Microscopy (PiFM) a revolutionary way to achieve near-field imaging via mechanical force detection.
• Background Suppressed Scattering SNOM
• Tip-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (TERS)
• A tuning-fork AFM head is available for TERS implementation.
