Combining the NeaSNOM platform with light sources in the appropriate wavelength range, chemical, structural and electronic properties of specimens can be observed in its specific near-field optical response and investigated with ultra high resolution. Neaspec offers a wide range of certified and ready-to-use light-source systems with guaranteed performance as well as the integration of your own light source with the NeaSNOM platform.

Neaspec-certified light sources

Neaspec offers ready-to-use systems, including light sources and detectors adjusted to your needs. Neaspec-certified light sources are supported by the NeaSNOM platform and fully tested to satisfy highest NeaSNOM system performance criteria. Integration of Neaspec-certified light sources includes all the required components, on-site installation and verification of the NeaSNOM system performance, as well as demonstration of successful measurements.
