Ambient 4-probe Surface Measurement System UP2000-4P

Micro to nano-manipulation of samples

Measurements of various kinds of electric properties of sample surfaces by multi-probing

This system enables various kinds of „micron-order“ to „nano-order“ surface electricity measurements and manipulations in the atmosphere.

We can also manufacture high-vacuum systems for probing and surface measurements in vacuum. Please feel free to ask us any questions you may have.

Features

• Positions each of the four probes individually along XYZ axes by using a personal computer and a remote control, while observing the sample surface under an optical microscope.
• No need to make troublesome sample position adjustments. The sample stage can also be moved independently in X and Y directions.
• Heating of the samples.
• Manipulate samples easily and intuitively while observing the sample surface shown on the screen of the personal computer.

Basic Components

• 4-probe stage (with an optical microscope) × 1
• 4-probe controller (with a remote control) × 1
• Notebook PC for controlling and observation (with a controlling program) × 1
• A set of PT-Ir probes × 1
