ICAPPIC Angle system
The approach angle of the micromanipulator can be adjusted between 0° and 90° to the horizontal plane, which allows imaging under high magnification objectives that have a short working distance. T The PatchStar micromanipulator and the sample holder were mounted on the Motorized Movable Top Plate (Scientifica, UK) that provided the coarse positioning required for the selection of the area of interest. In our HPICM for upright optical microscopes we implemented a pipette-scanning design where the entire XYZ scanning was performed by the nanopipette while the sample remained in a fixed position. Such design makes the integration of HPICM with standard patch clamp rigs found in thousands of laboratories around the world straightforward. It also enables one or more extra pipettes to be installed for either whole-cell recordings or localized delivery as previously demonstrated for inverted optical microscopes.
SICM
  • Position control: capacitive closed-loop sensors on X,Y,Z axes
  • XY travel range: 30×30 μm (optionaly up to 100×100 μm
  • Z travel range: 25 μm
  • Z position accuracy: 0.1 nm
  • Applications: SICM (Hopping mode), SECM, Smart Patch-Clamp, Microinjection, QNM, pH mapping
  • Typical image acquisition time: less than 5 minutes (depends on point number and sample roughness)
AFM
  • XYZ closed-loop tip scanner 100×100×10 μm
  • High-performance low noise AFM: Z noise <0.1 nm (RMS in 10-1000 Hz bandwidth)
  • Measurements in gas and liquid environment
  • Applications: all standard AFM imaging modes (40+), Force-distance spectroscopy
  • Non-resonant oscillatory HybriD Mode™ allowing direct and fast force detection for QNM mapping (E-modulus, Adhesion, Deformation, etc.)
