The Anton Paar STEP 700 is an advanced nanomechanical characterization platform that combines Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) with ultra-nanoindentation and mechanical property mapping capabilities. Integrated with the MCT³, UNHT³, and Nanosurf Nanite AFM modules, the system enables comprehensive analysis of surface topography, roughness, hardness, elastic modulus, adhesion, and nanomechanical behavior at micro- and nanometer scales.
This versatile platform is particularly valuable for biomaterials, dental materials, polymers, coatings, thin films, and advanced material research, providing both morphological and mechanical characterization within a single integrated system.
