Atomic Force Microscope
The ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE XE7 from Parks has all the state-of-the-art technology and yet, simple equipment used for the study of morphological, topographical, electrical, magnetic, nanomechanical properties of the materials. The flat, orthogonal, and linear scan measurements, as well as the unique design of XE7, which includes separate XY and Z scanners, assist in the obtaining high resolution sample images and the characteristic measurements true to its nanostructure.
XE7 is located at the main building of TU Vienna in the Interfacultary Laboratory for Micro- and Nanomechanics of Biological and Biomimetical Materials.

The LSM 800 is a confocal laser scanning microscope from Zeiss based on an inverted Observer Z1. The inverted configuration is designed for imaging both live cells and fixed samples. The device available at IMST is equipped with an incubator for temperature and CO2 control. It is able to run multidimensional experiments including multichannel acquisition, z-stacks, tile scanning, and time-lapse. Our LSM800 is equipped with 4 laser lines, as well as detectors for both fluorescence signals and transmitted light DIC. For specialized experiments an Airyscan GaAsP detector can be used in order to improve the spatial resolution and signal to noise ratio.
Technical specification
- Detectors: Two GaASP detectors, Airyscan
- Laser Lines: 405, 488, 561, 633 nm.
- Objectives: 2,5x, 10x, 40x (water)
