Bringing the power and versatility of AFM technology to everyone
Park SmartScan is a revolutionary operating software for Park AFMs that lets even inexperienced, untrained users produce high quality nanoscale imaging through three simple clicks of a mouse in auto mode, which rivals that made by experts using conventional techniques. SmartScan manual mode also provides all of the functions and tools necessary for more seasoned users to feel at home. This combination of extreme versatility, ease-of-use, and quality makes SmartScan the best AFM operating software available.
Combining Power and Simplicity
Most AFMs require complicated operation by the user. Park SmartScan doesn't. All that's needed from the user are three automated clicks, with animated instructions for setup anyone can understand. But if you want more control, the system offers a comprehensive set of functions and parameter settings.
Here is how it works after you turn on the AFM system
1. Click “Setup”
A small window appears that guides you through animation how to set the instrument and place the sample for imaging. Typically this takes only few minutes.
2. Click “Position”
The system automatically performs the frequency sweep for the cantilever, approaches the Z-stage to the sample, and auto focuses the sample allowing the user to see and navigate the area of interest for imaging.
3. Click “Image”
The system sets all the necessary parameters for optimum setting, then engages the cantilever and starts scanning the sample. It continues to scan until the image is acquired and completed.
4. End
The cantilever will disengage from the sample, and ready for the next sample imaging.
