AFM Workshop Life Science (LS) AFM

Life Sciences AFM For soft-sample applications

The LS AFM is used in life sciences applications when an inverted optical microscope is required for locating cells or other bio-materials on a surface. The LS AFM can be retrofitted to almost any inverted optical microscope, or it can be purchased with the AFMWorkshop inverted optical microscope.

LS AFM-A

For customers who already own an inverted optical microscope: In this configuration, AFMWorkshop fabricates a special plate that pairs the LS AFM with the customer’s existing inverted optical microscope.

LS AFM-B

This configuration of the LS AFM includes a fully-featured inverted optical microscope.
