FastScan + ScanAsyst: Easier than SEM?

I have received a number of questions if FastScan (our High Speed AFM) works with ScanAsyst (our Auto-Optimization algorithms). It does - and this video link demonstrates that by showing unattended high speed imaging on a diverse set of challenging samples. In the video are several simultaneous views of the experiment showing different elements of the scan, including that no one is “operating” the system, as well as a detail of the scan parameters so you can see them auto-optimize on each sample.

We have put a lot of effort into both of these features and would be interested to hear your comments – particularly if you are an SEM user. At Bruker, and as AFM’ers, we see a lot of advantages of the AFM over SEM, but often hear scientists say the prefer SEM because its faster and easier to use. I hope this video makes them reconsider. . .

Best,
Steve
