NenoVision is a technology company developing and manufacturing a unique atomic force microscope (AFM), LiteScope™, designed for fast and easy integration into scanning electron microscopes (SEMs). The company is located in Brno, Czech Republic which is a global center of electron microscopy.

NEXT LEVEL OF CORRELATIVE MICROSCOPY: AFM-in-SEM

The need to analyze and characterize objects from micro to nanoscale is fastly growing. SEM and AFM techniques are the most common with an extensive user pool. These are standards in micro-nano characterization and almost the only ones available. In-situ AFM-in-SEM measurement enables to combine advantages of both techniques. It is time-efficient, precise and it provides complex sample analysis while preventing sensitive samples from surface contamination and oxidation.

Besides, NenoVision has developed a unique measurement technique for correlative measurements called CPEM™ (Correlative Probe and Electron Microscopy). CPEM enables you to simultaneously acquire various AFM and SEM signals covering surface topography, mechanical properties, SE, BSE, and other SEM images. Due to the patented technology, all images can be directly correlated with exceptional precision and provide the most powerful correlative imaging on the market.
