Nanolane SARFUS: Mapping Station

Nanolane is a French nanotechnology company providing new solutions for optical visualization of nano-objects and thickness measurement of ultra thin films.

The SARFUS Mapping Station is a complete system dedicated to the observation of nano-objects in real-time using SEEC (Surface Enhanced Ellipsometric Contrast), and the measurement of ultra-thin film thickness in dry and in liquid. Each component of this product has been carefully chosen to ensure the image quality of your samples as well as the accuracy of the nanometric measurement. This station includes:
  • Research Optical Microscope, certified SARFUS measurement; 3-CCD numerical camera
  • Sarfusoft software: image acquisition with timelapse, 2D-3D transformation
