Features

 
 
The perfect start with leading technology

Based on the proven NanoWizard technology, the NanoWizard Sense+ delivers high performance measurements in air and liquid on samples ranging from single molecules, living cells and tissues to polymers and nanomaterials.

Thanks to its modular and flexible design, it can be easily upgraded to a full NanoWizard® 4 XP system with application-specific components and add-on features.

The NanoWizard family is renowned for its wide range of optional accessories, modes and features, providing the highest flexibility for all your applications.

Sample handling: The large standard sample volume (Ø140×18mm3) can be enhanced with specialized options, such as motorized positioning, StretchingStage for AFM on samples under mechanical load, Head-up Stage extension up to 14cm in Z for taller samples, and shuttle stage for high NA upright optics with BioMAT™.

Temperature control: High and low temperature options (e.g., unique CryoStage: -120°C up to 220°C), with and without perfusion or gas control.

Open access: Utmost versatility in experiment design, e.g., simultaneous use of micro-pipettes or electrical probes in contact with the sample with AFM.

Electrical measurements: Conductive AFM, KPM, EFM, MFM, STM, Piezoresponse microscopy, electrochemistry with temperature control and optics.

Mechanical measurements: Optimized Force Mapping, Contact Resonance imaging, NanoManipulation, NanoLithography and NanoIndentation. Advanced Force Spectroscopy for applications ranging from single molecule force spectroscopy to viscoelastic mechanics.

Optical integration perfected: NanoWizard AFMs stand for unparalleled optical integration. Thanks to its unique tip-scanning design, the system can be combined with advanced optics and used simultaneously with standard condensers and reflection microscopy, even through thin coverslips, and on all major inverted optical microscopes.
