Agilent AFMs support Northern Iowa’s nanotech program

February 6, 2008 — Agilent Technologies Inc. has sold an Agilent 5500 atomic force microscope to the University of Northern Iowa electrical characterization and materials science studies.

This is the fourth Agilent-manufactured AFM acquired by the university in the last year, the company announced in a news release. The school purchased the three other atomic force microscopes from Agilent to support its growing nanotechnology curriculum.

Our fast delivery and installation, along with on-site training, helped get them up and running quickly,” said Jeff Jones, operations manager for Agilent’s AFM facility in Chandler, Ariz.

The Agilent 5500 system is equipped with a closed-loop scanner, lithography capabilities, and AC Mode III for advanced electrical measurements. This in situ research tool is being shared by a biology professor, two physics professors and a chemistry professor, who will use it to conduct independent studies in their respective fields.
