CreaTec Low Temperature STM / AFM System
The combined low-temperature scanning tunneling and atomic force microscope (LT-STM/AFM) is an essential part of CreaTec’s product range. In addition to its nanoanalytical capabilities, it allows the precise manipulation of atoms and molecules at
temperatures in the range of 4 to 300 K. The fully compatible low-temperature atomic force microscope (AFM) allows simultaneous measurements of force and tunneling current without cross-talk using constant frequency or constant height control.
