Problem Statement: During the last decade, the trend of space and airborne laboratories is well increasing. Corporates like SpacePharma are worldwide experts in the launch of satellites including mini-labs, which enable the research of biological and chemical samples under space conditions (micro-gravity, vacuum, radiations, varying temperatures and pressures, etc…). With the demand for more complex measurements, they need advanced measurement techniques, capable to work under these challenging conditions, both under contact and proximity modes.

​

Proposed Solution: ALEO Team, in collaboration with BIU, has developed series of new AFM-NOM combined sensors capable to be added to any AFM commercial system, and to provide advanced complementary information such as topography and photonics imaging, during the same measurement run.
