Bruker Corporation (Bruker) has launched its new Dimension Nexus atomic force microscope (AFM). The new launch joins Bruker’s established Dimension AFM product line, which boasts over 4600 systems installed globally.

“We already have a number of Bruker AFMs in our open-access user facilities and are always looking for new technology that can further support the many researchers we serve from both academia and industry,” said Dr Alice Pyne, Head of the Henry Royce Nanocharacterisation Laboratory at the University of Sheffield. “I especially appreciate the compact and upgradable nature of the Dimension Nexus large-sample AFM and the fact that it can perform the latest PeakForce Tapping modes. I can see this being a real advantage for multi-user labs, where AFM expertise and applications vary, and where physical space for instruments is at a premium.”

Key features of the Dimension Nexus AFM:

  • Features the latest generation NanoScope 6 controller.
  • Compact design and improved ease of use.
  • It enables Bruker’s PeakForce Tapping technology and has over 50 AFM modes.
  • Provides an optimal intersection of value and performance, with the solution able to evolve to the user’s needs.

Thomas Mueller, Senior Director of AFM Instrumentation at Bruker, added, “With the release of Nexus, we have taken a significant step in making the very latest AFM technology available to a wider research community. Its combination of data quality, performance, and versatility make it both an excellent starter AFM and a perfect addition to a thriving AFM lab.”
