AGM Atomic Force Microscopy Laboratory
The
Aqueous Geochemistry and Mineralogy Group in the Department of
Earth and Planetary Sciences at Washington University, with support
from the McDonnell Center for the Space Science, operates an Agilent
Technologies model 5500 Atomic Force Microscope (AFM). The
instrument is capable of collecting images in both air and water in
both contact and AC modes.
The
AFM is available for use at a rate of $30/hour for Washington
University users and $40/hour for external users. Users must
supply their own AFM probes. Veeco NP series contact mode AFM
probes, which are also useful for AC mode imaging in water, are
available in the AFM laboratory for $17.50 per probe.
Contact Prof. Jeff Catalano (314-935-6015; catalano@wustl.edu) to
arrange to use the instrument.
