QFM-Module

The QFM-Module comprises two components:

Controller

Frequency Range

        5 kHz -    20 kHz (Tapping Mode in liquid)
      20 kHz - 100 kHz (Magnetic/Electrostatic Force Microscopy)
    100 kHz - 500 kHz (Tapping Mode in air)

Phase Shift

    360°  continously

Operational Modes

    Constant Excitation Mode (CE-Mode)
    Constant Excitation Mode with Q-Control
    AM-Mode (Tapping Mode) with Q-Control

The Controller is available with general purpose BNC-type connectors or with special connectors compatible with SPMs either from Digital Instruments / Bruker (type NanoScope) or from Shimadzu.
