Intelligent ScanTronic™ algorithm for one-click optimization of scanning parameters, which allows for perfect relief measurements using the amplitude-modulation method, regardless of the operator's experience. Automated examination of multiple samples using a simple user interface to create a point-by-point scanning scenario and a database for stored received images. Control of samples with dimensions up to 200×200 mm and thickness up to 40 mm at any point of the surface with a positioning accuracy of 1 micron. Wide customization possibilities: installation of additional optical equipment, development of specialized sample holders, combination with a transport system, automation of measurements and data analysis in accordance with customer requirements.

NanoEducator II, despite its compactness and ease of operation, supports all basic techniques of atomic force and scanning tunneling microscopy, so it can be used for any routine AFM and STM measurements and experiments in scientific research. Here are the results of some experiments in various scientific applications: Study of atomic structures Study of metallic nanostructures Study of magnetic structures Study of polymer objects Study of biological objects Study of carbon nanomaterials

NT-MDT S.I. presents NTEGRA II, the second generation of the world's most popular AFM. Thanks to additional features and advanced functions, it provides an unprecedented level of modularity and flexibility, becoming a true partner of the researcher. Intelligent, fast, reliable, accurate and undoubtedly easy to use. To eliminate the influence of a noisy environment, the NTEGRA II is supplied in a standard cabinet that provides temperature control, acoustic and vibration isolation. This combination reveals the true nature of NTEGRA II as the most stable AFM in the world, providing a temperature drift of less than 0.2 nm/min.

NT-MDT Spectrum Instruments is an INTEGRA Nano IR–scattering scanning near‑field optical microscope (s-NSOM) designed for the infrared spectral range. The AFM probe is located in the focus of an optical system that directs the IR laser radiation to the sample and collects the optical response. The collected radiation is sent to the Michelson interferometer for optical analysis. The far-field component of the collected signal is suppressed by synchronous detection. The INTEGRA Nano IR system allows detecting the amplitude and phase of the near-field signal. The spatial resolution of the resulting reflection and absorption contrasts is approximately 10 nm and is determined only by the size of the tip of the probe.

The MS-1104E spectrometer is characterized by high performance and accuracy of Mössbauer measurements achieved through the use of “compressed” geometry, as well as the use of highly efficient and selective resonant scintillation detection units that improve the energy resolution of resonance absorption lines by up to 30%. The technique of software and hardware stabilization of the spectrometric path developed and used in the spectrometer allows for long-term Mossbauer measurements without manual adjustment. The method of modulation in the specified speed intervals can significantly increase the sensitivity and expressiveness of measurements and reduce the time to determine the magnitude of the effects of resonant absorption by tens of times in the study of temperature phase transitions with a low concentration of resonant elements. The electronic components of the spectrometer are developed on the basis of a modern element base using programmable logic matrices and microprocessors. Adjustable spectrometric paths and high-voltage power supplies of the PMU are integrated into detection units, modulator driver modules and multi-channel storage are made in the ISA standard and are located in the processor unit of the computer. Setting and monitoring of all parameters of the spectrometer and processing of the measured spectra is carried out from the operating windows of the control and processing programs. Since 2000, more than ten spectrometers of this type have been supplied to leading scientific organizations in Russia and neighboring countries. One of the few industrial applications of Mössbauer spectroscopy should be noted - the development and supply to the Volgodonsk NPP of certified MS-1104Em methods and spectrometer for monitoring corrosion processes in the heat exchange circuits of the VVER-1000 reactor.

14 high-precision stepper motors control all moving parts of the microscope, and intelligent software blurs the line between optical and SPM imaging. NEXT provides continuous magnification from millimeter-scale panoramic optical images to atomic resolution, and intermediate operations such as laser pointing to the cantilever, sample positioning, soft approach and configuration of advanced SPM techniques occur automatically.
