Nanosurf is a company that thrives on challenges at the frontier of what is physically achievable. By concentrating our collective efforts on the obstacles that stand in the way of advancements in nanotechnology, we enable researchers to push the boundaries in their respective fields of science. We integrate cutting-edge scanning probe technology into the value chain of industrial customers by crafting solutions that seamlessly blend into their manufacturing processes.
Established in 1997, Nanosurf defined ease of use in scanning probe microscopy by miniaturizing the size of a scanning probe microscope to fit a coffee table. Since then, the Swiss-based company has matured into the leading innovator of atomic force microscopy technology. Nanosurf provides continually evolving instrument platforms for academic research and industry applications in life science and materials science, as well as large-scale industrial solutions for production facilities with specifications that demand the utmost accuracy.
Nanosurf is dedicated to bridging the gap between complex technology and its users. Our mission is to expand access to AFM by developing new measurement modes and technologies that enhance its ease, speed, and reliability. We are committed to making AFM as accessible and intuitive as more common technologies like optical microscopy, thereby opening it up to a broader range of users and application areas. As nanoscale applications permeate a growing number of sectors, easy access to AFM will help nanotechnology flourish, thereby driving forward the evolution of science and technology overall. Together we tackle the challenge.
We fully utilize our competence, infrastructure, knowledge and culture to provide solid, fit-for-purpose products delivering sustainable success to our customers.
We recognize and value the contribution of each individual team member and the scientific community. We create an environment with diversity of thought where people and ideas can flourish.
Honesty and clarity form the foundations of trust in all our interactions.
