Nanonics Renishaw NSOM/Raman Combination 12.01.2003

Nanonics NSOM/SPM Systems Are The Only Scanned Probe Microscopes :

Capable Of Being Integrated With

• Renishaw Standard microRaman Systems which, like all microRaman systems, are generally based on upright microscopes which are preferred for their high light throughput

Capable Of Being Used to Obtain:

• Patented Shadow NSOM Raman TM NSOM Raman TM & Scattering Combined with Photon Tunneling

Capable Of Being Configured to Be Used Also With:

• Infrared Microscopes & SEMs, TEMs & FIBs

3D Flat Scanning Technology Permits SPM Possibilities Not Previously Achievable

Tip & Sample Scanning 3D Flat Scanners

All Nanonics’ Systems have the Hallmark of a

Free Optical or Electron/Ion Optical Axis

They also permit new avenues of flexibility both in terms of SPM instrumentation and probes
