Established in 1997, Nanosurf defined ease of use in scanning probe microscopy by miniaturizing the size of a scanning probe microscope to fit a coffee table. Since then, the Swiss-based company has matured into one of the leading innovators in atomic force microscopy. Nanosurf provides continually evolving instrument platforms for academic researchers and industry applications in life science and materials science, as well as large-scale customized industrial solutions for use in production lines with very demanding accuracy specifications.
