AFM imaging has never been so easy before!

In this Live Demo we will walk you through the quick automation set-up for research applications by using SmartScan & StepScan.


Park SmartScan is an operating software for Park AFMs that allows even less experienced, untrained users producing high quality nanoscale imaging through three simple clicks of a mouse in auto mode. SmartScan manual mode provides all the functions and tools necessary for more seasoned users to feel at home and fully adapt the measurements to their needs.

This combination of extreme versatility, ease-of-use, and quality makes SmartScan the best AFM operating software available.

Park’s StepScan allows for an easy set-up of automated measurements. The areas of interest can be added and edited by a simple mouse click, while the user keeps full control over the measurement at each position. The recipe can vary any parameters like scan size, speed or resolution at any location. Furthermore, modes can also be changed within a StepScan routine, i.e. measuring lateral force microscopy and KPFM during the same recipe.

This allows setting up the system with its full capabilities from manual mode without any restrictions and thus, freeing up the operator’s time as the tool performs the recipe automatically.
