The Nano-RT Atomic Force Microscope

The master computer, which is a standard PC unit, is required for acquiring and analyzing images. The computer and the control unit are connected with a standard Ethernet connector. Specifications for the computer system are improved on a routine basis when new computer systems are made available.

Control Unit
The architecture of the control unit for the Nano-RT AFM is based on a PC micro-controller and is connected to the master computer though a standard Ethernet port.
