Grand launch at the ICN&T2006
- in the jubilee year of atomic force microscopy JPK presents
the new generation BioAFM, the NanoWizard®II
— August 15, 2006
|
It was no accident, that two of the most important nanoscience meetings
- STM'06 and Nano9 - were combined this year in the ICN&T2006
(International Conference on NanoScience and Technology), or that
this event took place in Switzerland. This year marks the 20th anniversary
of the invention of the atomic force microscope (AFM), and the 25th
anniversary of the scanning tunnelling microscope (STM); the starting
point for both techniques was in Switzerland.
For the Berlin NanoBiotechnology firm JPK Instruments
AG the jubilee event in Basel provided a fitting oportunity to present
the NanoWizard®II
to the public. This significant innovation for the Life Science
AFM community, the next generation of the leading BioAFM, was unveiled
to a large audience of leading scientists.
The NanoWizard®II
marks the new peak of technology for applications such as high resolution
imaging, force spectroscopy or manipulation on the subnanometer
level. This sophisticated instrument was developed by building upon
proven strengths of the NanoWizard® system. "For the NanoWizard®II
as for the original NanoWizard®, the focus is on the integration
of atomic force microscopy and optical microscopy without compromising
either technique." , said Torsten Jähnke, CTO of JPK.
"We have worked to comprehensively strengthen the new AFM for
the special demands of the various bio science and soft material
applications."
The years of experience in BioNano applications, the close attention
to customers wishes and the complex engineering have all paid off.
The many innovative features, further increased stability and new
levels of system performance make the NanoWizard®II
the most powerful research tool for applications in soft matter
and life science.
