Microscopy Solutions
Customized Microscopy Products
Working at the forefront of science sometimes requires completely
new instrumentation. attocube is constantly monitoring new trends
in research as well as collaborating with some of the world’s leading
scientists to support significant breakthroughs with new techniques.
This has resulted in many sophisticated material characterization tools,
which have provided our customers a competitive edge in their fields.

attocube has gained and maintained a reputation in the scientific
community for making almost anything possible. Obviously, this always
involves a mutual discussion and agreement about development costs
vs. price, level of integration and delivery time. As shown on the follow-
ing pages, this trade-off has resulted in many outstanding instruments
which have directly produced excellent research results, some of which
might not have been achieved without attocube’s involvement.
Competitive edge Customized to individual needs
Our microscopy solutions deliver brand-new technology for
tackling some of the hardest challenges of today’s fundamental
research, and hence provide their first users with a tangible
competitive edge over other researchers by minimizing the
‘time-to-market’ for scientific results – an asset, which grows
in importance for hot topics in a global research world. This has
been proven by many success stories around our instruments as
shown on the pages that follow. Especially in fundamental research, every experiment is slightly
different, and scientists simply like to ‘have it their way’ – mak-
ing off-the-shelf systems inappropriate. With our cutting edge
systems, we try to satisfy even exotic requirements, so that re-
searchers can spend their time on producing results rather than
adapting their measurement equipment manually to their needs.
Expert support Smart engineering
Every measurement system is installed by one of our skilled
engineers on site including an extensive training session. But
the excellent support extends far beyond that – our experts are
available by phone as well as via remote desktop sessions, and
never leave you alone with any open questions around your mea-
surement task. ‘Convenience despite complexity’ – although most of the cutting
edge systems are equipped with unprecedented features, we
dedicate all of our experience to deliver user-friendly and robust
solutions.
Patented positioning technology Variable temperatures & high magnetic fields
At the heart of every measurement instrument, nanopositioning
stages based on our patented slip-stick principle provide several
degrees of freedom over macroscopic ranges with down to sub-
nm precision.

All but the dedicated room temperature instruments have been
very carefully designed to meet the requirements of cryogenic
environments and high magnetic fields by the choice of suitable
materials and appropriate mechanical working principles.
