TriA-SNOM Head
SNOM Head is suitable for Simultaneous Acquisition of Optical signal (up to 3: reflection, transmission and collection mode) and Topographic signal.
Optical signals acquisition by 2 Photomultipliers.
Sample holder size: 30x30 mm;
Translator range 13 x 13 x 13 mm; servo assisted z movement.
2 Optical Vision System integrated into the SNOM head:
-Optical vision system to monitor probe approaching on the sample;
-Inverted optical microscope for Transparent sample.
A.P.E. Research suggests “Lovalite” SNOM probes.
Probe Holder is suitable for any Commercial SNOM fibers.

Dual demodulator
A.P.E. Research Dual demodulator for Optical signals acquisition.

SPMCU2-PI
SPM Control Unit
SPM Control Unit and PC (equipped with a multi input-output board)  drives the scanner, data acquisition and sample motion.
Tip to sample distance is controlled by ultra-low noise analog feedback, digitally driven by PC.
