nano-FTIR/NeaSNOM - A New Era in Imaging & Spectroscopy at the Nanoscale

Based on Neaspec’s revolutionary technology, nano-FTIR/NeaSNOM is the only microscope on the market capable of imaging & spectroscopy in the visible, infrared and even terahertz spectral region at only 10 nm spatial resolution.

This makes nano-FTIR/NeaSNOM the ideal tool for cutting-edge nanoanalytic applications such as chemical nano-composition (nano-FTIR-mode), nano-plasmonic fields, nanoscale stress/strain fields and free charge carrier distributions. Many scientists around the world trust in technology from Neaspec for their publications in Nature, Science and other high impact journals.
