Proven performance in nanoscale metrology
The Park NX10 is a flagship atomic force microscope (AFM) engineered for small-sample research, offering exceptional accuracy, long-term reliability, and user-friendly operation. As Park Systems’ original small-sample AFM platform, the NX10 has gained worldwide recognition in academic institutions and industrial laboratories for delivering precise and highly repeatable nanoscale measurements.
At the heart of the NX10 are Park’s proprietary orthogonal scan system and True Non-contact™ mode. These advanced technologies significantly reduce lateral motion artifacts while protecting both the probe tip and the sample surface. The result is artifact-free, high-resolution imaging with exceptional dimensional accuracy—ideal for delicate, soft, or complex materials.
The orthogonal scan architecture separates the XY and Z scanner movements, ensuring true topographical accuracy and minimizing image distortion. Combined with True Non-contact™ mode, the NX10 enables stable, non-destructive imaging even during long measurement sessions, making it highly dependable for research environments that demand consistency.
From materials science, semiconductor research, and polymers to bioengineering and nanotechnology, the Park NX10 provides robust performance across a wide range of applications. Its precision engineering, innovative AFM technology, and proven reliability make it a trusted solution for advanced nanoscale metrology and surface characterization.
Outstanding NX Mechanical Design
Enhanced XY and Z scanner performance ensures precise positioning and accurate imaging. Fast Z-servo response improves vertical tracking, while improved Z scan straightness delivers distortion-free nanoscale measurements.
Low Z Detector Noise
Equipped with a stacked piezo actuator and strain gauge sensor, the NX10 achieves high precision with exceptionally low noise—essential for reliable, repeatable measurements.
Fast Z Servo & High Resolution Imaging
The advanced Z scanner maintains consistent roughness linearity across both flat and rough samples, ensuring dependable results regardless of scan size.
NX Laser Beam Path
Integrated superluminescent diode (SLD) provides low-coherence illumination, reducing interference for stable signal detection. Precision mirrors guide the beam accurately to the cantilever and PSPD.
Intuitive Laser Adjustment
Direct X and Y control knobs allow easy laser beam positioning and effortless realignment during probe replacement.
Pre-Mounted Probe System
Pre-aligned probe chip carriers with kinematic mounting points reduce cantilever damage and ensure consistent tip positioning.
Secure Kinematic Mounting
The NX head Z scanner uses precision balls and magnetic mounting for stable, repeatable installation and minimized drift.
Improved Z Scan Straightness
Maintains 0.1% straightness across the scan range with less than 5 nm out-of-axis motion at full 15 µm extension for highly accurate vertical measurements.
Modular Expansion Slot
Easily upgrade with plug-in modules to enable advanced AFM modes, ensuring flexibility and long-term system scalability.
On-Axis Optical Microscope
High-power optical microscope with software-controlled LED illumination provides a clear, well-lit view of the sample surface for precise positioning.
