About
The University of Sheffield awarded a contract to attocube systems AG for a near-field optical nano-spectroscopy and imaging system, funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
The system operates across visible to mid-infrared wavelengths and is based on a high-resolution atomic force microscope (AFM), incorporating pulsed and continuous wave lasers for tip-enhanced optical spectroscopy and imaging, along with a light detection apparatus for high signal-to-noise detection of elastically scattered light.
It supports tip-enhanced Raman, fluorescence, and ultra-fast pump-probe experiments, and features a user-friendly computer interface and hardware for quick sample turnaround and method switching.
The contract value is £981,513.
