Switzerland-based NanoWorld is the global market leader for tips for Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). The Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is the defining instrument for the whole field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. It enables its users in research and high-tech industry to investigate materials at the atomic scale. AFM probes are the key consumable, the “finger” that enables the scientist to scan surfaces point-by-point at the atomic scale.
