NTEGRA platform: Features
Platform key features
The platform unites eight specialized research systems. Each of them has three key features, which are common for the platform as a whole:
-
Specialization provides the maximum quality level. Each research system was designed for the individual range of special functions. Specification of each NTEGRA system meets and sometimes exceeds the highest world standards in the specific area.
-
The modular design allows easily changing the system’s specialization. Each system has a certain number of components and units, which are common for every model of the platform. That is why the modification (turning one specific system to another) is made by replacing or adding the units.
- The concept of Nanolaboratory is the integration of SPM and various other research techniques. In the beginning of the platform’s development there was a goal to provide maximum integration with non-SPM methods (inverted microscopy, confocal scanning microscopy, spectroscopy, etc.). This goal has been successfully reached. NTEGRA platform offers carrying out a great number of interdisciplinary studies in almost any experimental scientific field.
