Revolutionary AFM-on-a-Chip Technology Simplifies Traditional AFM Processes
Traditional AFM instruments, while powerful for nanoscale surface imaging, are often hindered by complex and time-consuming setup processes rooted in technology developed in the 1980s. Recognizing this challenge, ICSPI revolutionized the landscape with its unique AFM-on-a-chip technology. The Redux AFM, harnessing this breakthrough technology, makes nanoscale imaging effortless. By integrating multiple components onto a single chip, the Redux eliminates the cumbersome aspects of traditional AFM, such as silicon probe exchange, cantilever alignment, tip crashes, tip-sample approach, and controller tuning.

Unlike traditional AFMs, the Redux has no laser alignment step or manual approach: an integrated sensor on the AFM chip automates everything for you.
The Redux is compatible with virtually any solid sample, including adhesive samples.
Our unique AFM chips have durable probes that last hundreds of scans without noticeable wear. The AFM chips are mounted onto easy-to-handle printed circuit boards (PCBs) that can even be handled by hand.
