In situ electrochemical AFM studies
The ECS 204 allows scientists to perform simultaneous AFM imaging and electrochemical measurements (EC-AFM) on electrodes and samples immersed in electrolyte solutions.
Main features
- Inert liquid cell embedded in solid steel frame
- Small protected compartment for oxygen-free atmosphere above the solution
- Integrated micrometer stage for lateral positioning (2 mm range)
- Employs thin metal wire or true reference electrode (Ø 2 mm × 65 mm)
- Mounting of flat samples or rod-type electrodes
- Liquid flow-through for solution filling and exchange
- Can be mounted on the Nanosurf Isostage for vibration isolation
- Size: 204 × 204 × 118 mm
- Weight: approx. 6 kg
Required additional components
- FlexAFM scan head with protective membrane and the C3000 controller
- Corrosion-resistant cantilever holders for imaging in liquid or in air
- Nanosurf Isostage for active vibration isolation
- FlexAFM camera
