History
1982 - 1996
The advent and commercialization of AFM
In 1985, Sang-il Park was a PhD student on Professor Calvin Quate’s team at Stanford, which co-invented atomic force microscopy (AFM) with IBM. After graduating in 1988, Dr. Park founded Park Scientific Instruments (PSI) to commercialize AFM. PSI launched several AFM products for academia and industry before being acquired by Thermo Spectra in 1997.
