TESCAN LYRA3 FEG-SEM

Neaspec near-field scanning optical microscopy system enables nanoscale optical, chemical and mechanical characterisation well below the diffraction limit. It combines s-SNOM, nano-FTIR, photothermal AFM-IR and advanced AFM modes for hyperspectral imaging and local spectroscopy with nanometre-scale spatial resolution.

Capabilities

• Scattering-type scanning near-field optical microscopy (s-SNOM)

• Pseudoheterodyne (PsHet) imaging and point spectroscopy

• nano-FTIR spectroscopy

• Photothermal AFM-IR measurements

• Widely tuneable mid-infrared excitation from approximately 550–7500 cm⁻¹

• Hyperspectral nanoimaging with spatial resolution down to ~10 nm

• Tip force microscopy (TFM) for nanoscale stiffness, adhesion, viscosity and energy-dissipation mapping

• Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM)

• Combined PsHet and KPFM imaging
