Sample Plates
The Agilent 5500 SPM is designed to allow scanning from above the
sample. A variety of sample plates provide mounting options and
micro-environments for imaging (Figure 16). The standard sample plate
has a magnetic core that will securely hold samples mounted on
magnetic backings. Other plates are available for measurement in liquid,
temperature controlled imaging, for MAC and other applications.
