Automatic/parameter-free frequency tuning based on cantilever characteristics

Simply choose the cantilever you are using, and the system automatically performs the frequency sweep prior to approaching the sample. No manual setting of parameters is required.

Distance measuring tools

Measure the distance between points or lines, the height of features, and more.

A selection of different measuring tools allow you to accurately measure angles and distances directly on the acquired measurement image.
Determine the distance between two points or between two parallel lines to make very precise measurement (as shown in the video).

Nanosurf Python Package

Learn how to take control of the GUI settings in Python: the video above shows some of the most basic actions, such as changing the imaging mode, choosing the right cantilever, adjusting image parameters, and changing the PID settings. Also see how to automatically find the working frequency, start approach, start scanning, and save measurement data.

Webinar on Nanosurf's Python API

In this webinar we introduce the Nanosurf Python API and learn how to control Nanosurf instruments with it. We also briefly touch on the processing of the data, stored in NID files, and look at how to create custom user interfaces.

Additional Usability Features

Spectroscopy wizard: follow easy steps to set up spectroscopy measurements
One software UI for all scan heads: no additional learning curve if you use multiple Nanosurf AFM systems
Automated deflection calibration
UI layouts for beginners and advanced users
Highly configurable graph area with mode-dependent auto-layout: the software automatically shows the relevant graphs and information
Easy file handling with comfort features: auto apply naming conventions, Windows Explorer integration, image gallery, bulk renaming.
