Nanoscope 3 controller

Manufactured by Veeco
Sourced in United States

The Nanoscope III controller is a device used in scanning probe microscopy. It is designed to control the scanning motion and data acquisition of a scanning probe microscope, such as an atomic force microscope (AFM) or a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). The Nanoscope III controller provides the necessary electronic interface and control functions to operate these types of microscopes.

5 protocols using nanoscope 3 controller

1

Tapping-mode AFM Imaging Protocol

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AFM images were collected using a MultiMode SPM with a Nanoscope III controller (Veeco Instruments, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) operated in tapping-mode in air. The AFM cantilevers used in air had a spring constant of 5 N·m–1 (Veeco cantilevers, TAP150A) with resonance frequencies ranging between 120 and 160 kHz. All the recorded AFM images consist of 512 × 512 pixels with scan frequency ≤1 Hz. Images were simply flattened using the Gwyddion software (36 ) (Version 2.25) and no further image processing was carried out.

Tapping-Mode AFM Imaging of H-NS-DNA Complexes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
AFM images were collected using a MultiMode SPM with a Nanoscope III controller (Veeco Instruments, Santa Barbara, CA) operated in tapping-mode in air. The AFM cantilevers used in air had a spring constant of 5 newtons/m (Bruker cantilevers, TAP150A) with resonance frequencies ranging between 120 and 160 kHz. All recorded AFM images consist of 512 × 512 pixels with scan frequency ≤1 Hz. Each H-NS-DNA binding experiment was performed at least in duplicate. AFM images were obtained at several separate locations across the mica surface to ensure a high degree of reproducibility and were used for statistical analysis of H-NS-DNA complexes. Only H-NS-DNA complexes that were completely visible in AFM image were considered for statistical analysis. The images were simply flattened using the Gwyddion software (Version 2.25) without further image processing (52 ).

AFM Imaging of Glutathione-Treated Polymersomes

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The polymersome samples in a 10 mM HEPES buffer (pH = 7.4) were placed onto a mica sheet and air dried. To perform AFM imaging, a Multimode atomic force microscope with a Nanoscope III controller and J type piezo scanner (Veeco Metrology Group) was used. An antimony (n) doped Si-tip was used to obtain images in Tapping Mode under laboratory conditions. Images were taken before and after incubation with glutathione (5 mM) for an hour. The effect of the reducing agent on shape and morphology of polymersomes was studied.

Characterization of CS/PAMAM Dendrimer Nanoparticles

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
The morphology of the nanoparticles was evaluated through AFM. The CS/PAMAM dendrimer NPs were dissolved in ultrapure water to achieve a final concentration of 1 mg mL -1 and transferred to the surface of a 9.9 mm mica disc (Agar Scientific, England). The samples were evaluated using the Tapping model TM with a MultiMode AFM connected to a NanoScope III controller (Veeco, USA) with noncontact silicon nanoprobes (ca. 300 kHz) from Nanosensors, Switzerland. Images were plane-fitted using the third-degree-flatten procedure included in NanoScope software version 1.5. The particle morphology and size were both analysed with NanoScope 1.5 software.

Atomic Force Microscopy of Nicked DNA

Check if the same lab product or an alternative is used in the 5 most similar protocols
All Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) samples were prepared in the AFM Buffer consisting of 1 mM Tris and 4 mM MgCl2 (pH = 7.0). Concentrated aliquots of nicked DNA were mixed with AFM buffer to achieve final concentrations of 0.5 ng/μl and 2.2 ng/μl in 20 μl buffer volume. Twenty microlitres drops were then deposited on freshly cleaved mica for 5 min. Afterwards the mica was rinsed with 1 ml of double distilled water and dried under a gentle nitrogen flow.
AFM images were collected using a MultiMode Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM) with a Nanoscope III controller (Veeco Instruments, Santa Barbara, CA, USA) operated in tapping-mode in air. The AFM cantilevers used in air had a spring constant of 5 N/m (Veeco cantilevers, TAP150A) with resonance frequencies ranging between 120 and 160 kHz. All recorded AFM images consisted of 512 × 512 pixels with scan frequency ≤1 Hz. Images were simply flattened using the Gwyddion software (32 ) n (Version 2.25) and no further image processing was carried out.

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
