SIS Mode
The SIS mode (sampling intelligent scan mode) has solved the problem of conventional AFMs. It has achieved measurement that is not affected by the movement in a horizontal direction that happens during scanning with a probe (drag, deformation, etc.). As a result, stable measurement of highly uneven and adsorbent, and even of soft samples has become possible. Also, the equipment enables the excellent mapping of physical properties; the current mode enables the steady measurement of the current and topographic images even for soft samples without breaking the sample, and the phase mode makes it possible for the topography (artifact) to be not affected by scanning.
