Dynamic Force Board

Nanotec's Dynamic Force Board is an optional add-on to the Dulcinea Controller and is strongly recommended for AFM systems. The Dynamic Board is NOT an afterthought - it is fully integrated into Dulcinea - and greatly expands the capabilities of the Dulcinea Controller in specific scanning techniques.

The board is a software programmable, two channel lock-in amplifier. This board extends the capabilities of the Dulcinea Controller to allow for non-contant SFM operation, electrostatic studies, Magnetic Force Microscopy (MFM) and much more.

Nanotec's Dynamic Force Board is a perfect combination between analog and digital signal processing. It has the flexibility and accuracy of digital systems, but maintains critical signals to analog, enabling less noise level and more speed.
