„ The attocube low-temperature AFM is a versatile instrument which provides a good balance between the flexibility of a user-built setup and the reliability and ease of installation of a commercial instrument . I particularly recommend the ASC500 SPM controller , as it allows for advanced control modes such as phase lock loop ( PLL ), but still provides a great deal of flexibility in configuration , and ready access to all signals .“

“ Working with an evolving self-developed technique means our needs constantly and rapidly change . It is thus very important for us to have a controller with high flexibility and versatility . The ASC500 allows us to easily and smoothly adjust our measurement scheme to meet the needs of the moment . It has proven to be a powerful tool for scanning probe microscopy ”
