Large area high-speed atomic force microscopy with arbitrary scan path playback: paper available now<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

04.09.25<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queensgate and the UK’s National Physical Laboratory (NPL) have developed a novel control system to enable large-area, high-speed atomic force microscopy (AFM) scans. The breakthrough was enabled following their collaboration on an Innovate UK Analysis for Innovation (A4I) project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

AFM is an advanced microscopy technique<\/a> that produces images by measuring the forces between a sharp tip and the sample surface. It generates high-resolution images with atomic-scale detail, and has applications in biotechnology, materials science, and semiconductor manufacturing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Traditionally, AFM is a slow imaging technique, although in recent years, some high-speed AFMs have been developed. The limitation of these high-speed AFMs is the scan range: normally less than 10 µm in the X and Y axes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queensgate has helped scientists at NPL’s Dimensional Metrology Group achieve high-speed (up to 3 mm s-1<\/sup>) atomic force microscopy over large ranges—up to 100 µm x 100 µm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been achieved using a new approach to motion control with pre-programmed coordinates applied to a Queensgate NPS-XY-100D nanopositioning stage<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This position-velocity-time type control gives smoother motion at high speeds compared to a real-time control approach. By moving the stage on a coarse positioner and stitching data, larger areas up to 0.5 mm x 0.7 mm can be imaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper is available for open-access download from IOP Science:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
