Features 

Typical Applications 

• Low cost AFM 

• Atomic Step Resolution 

• MadPLL® low noise controller 

• Integrated closed loop piezo nanopositioners 

• Compatible with resonant and Akiyama probes 

• Automated hardware and software control 

• Custom configurations 

• Metrology 

• AFM 

• SPM 

• Combined light microscopy/AFM 

MadPLL® is an integrated solution that includes the digital phase lock loop (PLL) controller, software, sensor amplifier, probe mounting board, and probe boards. MadPLL® includes five (5) each of the vertical, horizontal, Akiyama and blank probe boards. In addition each unit is shipped with 5 tuning forks. Additional probe boards and tuning forks can be purchased separately. The advantage of the MadPLL® controller is its seamless operation with all Mad City Labs nanopositioning systems. 

Mad City Labs nanopositioning systems have low noise PicoQ® sensors and closed loop feedback control yielding high resolution closed loop SPM performance. 

Our nanopositioners plus a wide range of SPM accessories makes it simple to create inexpensive, customized atomic force microscopes.
