The MAC III controller adds imaging modes, routing capabilities and
other experimental controls for applications requiring additional
flexibility in experiment design. MAC III works with the Agilent 5500
SPM as either an option or an upgrade. It offers the best control
available for oscillating probe technology, providing, among other
things, far better resolution in fluids than other techniques.
MAC III includes three user-configured lock-in amplifiers for precise
and versatile feedback options as well as additional experimental
flexibility. MAC III adds functionality to many of the imaging modes
described earlier in this manual.
Moreover, MAC III can operate in multiple modes simultaneously. For
example, you can image in AAC and KFM Modes simultaneously,
ensuring that the same scan location and size is achieved in both modes.
