Uniscan Instruments introduce the Shallow µTriCell™ for topographic measurements.
Uniscan Instruments has announced the introduction of the Shallow µTriCell™ for the M370 Scanning Electrochemical Workstation for use in a variety of practical applications including corrosion monitoring, development of electrochemical sensors and the screening of fuel cell materials.
The SECM technique may require topological relief of features in a sample’s surface. The constant-height area scan, where the probe remains at a fixed vertical position above the sample, is not ideally suited to this type of sample with a non-flat surface. To overcome this Uniscan Instruments have developed a constant-distance related technique where the probe is able to track the surface topology of a sample. The combination of the Optical-Surface Profiling (OSP370) technique with the Scanning Electrochemical Microscope (SECM370) allows a user to take a measure of the surface features and relieve the SECM probe’s position during the scan.
With the introduction of OSP-SECM topographical relief capability, the range of electrochemical cell options has been expanded to facilitate these types of experiments with a low profile sample holder that allows greater optical access to the sample surface.
The provision of a quartz window in the cell allows the positioning of the probe to be monitored with the VCAM2 zoom-lens video microscope system.
