Market CAGR for atomic force microscope is being driven by the AFMs can acquire data and images more quickly thanks to high-speed scanning. This efficiency is essential in research and industrial applications where time is of the essence. Researchers can complete experiments and measurements in a fraction of the time that slower scanning would take. Traditional AFM imaging frequently necessitates prolonged contact time between the probe and the sample, which can sometimes be detrimental to delicate or sensitive samples. High-speed scanning shortens the time the probe is in contact with the sample, reducing the possibility of sample damage or distortion. Thus driving the Atomic Force Microscope market revenue.
In addition, AFM hardware advancements, such as faster actuators, improved feedback control systems, and high-frequency cantilevers, have enabled high-speed scanning. These technologies have been steadily improving, making high-speed AFM more accessible. As AFM technology advances, its applications are broadening to include dynamic processes, time-dependent phenomena, and real-time studies. High-speed scanning is required to meet the demands of these diverse applications. High-speed scanning is frequently integrated into multi-modal AFMs that can operate in multiple imaging modes. To obtain comprehensive data, researchers can switch between high-speed imaging and other modes, such as high-resolution imaging, tapping mode, or force spectroscopy.
Moreover, the ability of AFM to offer topographical details at the nanoscale is well known. Researchers can study and characterize tiny structures and features using excellent-quality imaging, which is critical for a variety of scientific and industrial applications. High-resolution imaging is critical for characterizing sample surface properties such as roughness, texture, and defects. It's especially important in the field of materials science, where surface quality is critical. Researchers can use high-resolution AFM to examine the detailed structural properties of materials, biological samples, and nanoscale objects. This data is critical for comprehending the behavior and functionality of these systems.
