Since its inception in 1997 and throughout the last ten years we have introduced to the SPM market new concepts in system functionality which in turn have supported the pursuit of new areas of scientific application. Nanonics contributions span from our revolutionary approach to NSOM imaging with cantilevered NSOM probes, to our introduction of dual tip/sample scanning AFM systems; and from our in
troduction of the first ever NSOM /AFM cryogenic systems to the first ever, optical tweezers , Raman/AFM, Multiprobe AFM and SEM/AFM systems. Our Technology
One of our pillars of strength as a commercial enterprise is our strong patent portfolio. We own the central IP to the largest range of unique nanoprobes, from the industry leading glass cantilevered NSOM probes to thermal and electrical probes. These optically exposed probes together with our patented 3D Flat Scanning technology provide all our systems with a free optical x axis - this is the foundation of our integration between AFM techniques with other microscopy disciplines. Our People
It is the combination of world class technology with expert personnel that provides for innovative and high performance products. Over the past ten years and within our staff of 40 people, we have assembled one of the largest team of specialist SPM scientists that exists anywhere in the world. Lead by Professor Aaron Lewis, one of the inventors of near-field optics, our team of over 15 scientists provide our customers with access to the one of the largest collective knowledge bases of SPM experience. A Premier Scientific Service
We strive to provide our customers with the added value of a premier scientific service together with our industry leading systems. From the time of system installation, Nanonics differentiates its service from our competitors by providing highly qualified scientific personnel for system installation. From the very outset at the installation our customers benefit by getting expert advice on SPM techniques related to the customers specific area of research. This one-to-one dialogue with our customers continues throughout the customers use of their system. The extensive list of Nanonics customers whose research has reached publication in the major literature is fitting testimony to the complete solution of SPM systems and scientific support that we provide.
