ICSPI Vertex AFM

World’s first infinite sample size AFM

The ICSPI Vertex is an AFM tool based on the patented AFM-on-a-Chip technology. In this AFM all scanners and sensors are integrated into a single 1 x 1 mm2 CMOS-MEMS chip and therefore nanoscale imaging has never been easier.

The Vertex AFM is a stage-less tool. It enables non-destructive nanoscale metrology of ultra-large samples removing the need for invasive sample extraction procedures.

The Vertex AFM is able to be flexibly deployed wherever 3D nanoscale data is required. It might be an aircraft wing, oil pipeline or nuclear reactor, all without leaving a scratch.

Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) is one of the most used surface science techniques to investigate topography, surface roughness and thickness of coatings on different substrate materials. A very sharp tip or cantilever is moving across the surface giving height and mechanical information on the nanoscale. The nGauge is working in the so-called tapping mode providing very long cantilever lifetimes and 1000+ scans.

The Vertex AFM-on-a-Chip approach resulted in an alignment-free, laser-less and cost-effective AFM tool.
