The Nanosurf^® Mobile S AFM
Acquisition and analysis software features

1, 2, Done

The Mobile S acquisition software gives the user unparalleled comfort and accessibility to key operation controls.

Positioning the tip and sample, imaging controls, spectroscopy, and the post-processing reports are all easily accessible. Additionally, the panel's controls can be expanded or reduced by selecting easy, intermediate or advanced user skill levels in the system preferences.

A typical user can learn how to use the software very quickly. Occasional users can come back to the software after months and not require any "reacquainting". Intuitive controls invite exploration rather than itimidating the user.

Positioning

The positioning control panel can display either the CCD camera's side view of the tip/sample gap or the overhead view to position the probe onto an area of interest. Camera and lighting options, motor control options, and automated approach controls are accessible in this panel.

Upon approach, the software automatically calibrates the detector and runs the appropriate freq. sweep (when using dynamic modes). Proper working frequency is set without further user intervention. In advanced mode, the user does have the option to change how these settings are chosen.

User interface settings are easily changed

Imaging

Imaging controls are conveniently grouped with the data display panels, giving the user easy access to the most commonly used controls.

Whie imaging, you can also make measurements on the sample surface, change viewing options, and add or remove data panels to display the information you need.

Reporting

A simple click quickly takes the user from the controls of the data acquisition software into Nanosurf Report - a powerful analysis and reporting application. Image processing tools like flattening, FFT, rougness analysis are easily accessed. Presentation functions like zoom, 3D rendering, and the use of various color tables add appeal to your reports. Some key features of Nanosurf Report include:

Creation of visually appealing, professional, reports
Efficient generation of reports using templates
Extensive online help
Quantitative analysis for both surfaces and profiles
Filters, corrections, and 3D represenation
Multiple export options
Reads multiple file formats from other SPMs
