The Price of Atomic Force Microscopes and AFMWorkshop's Price List
The Price of Atomic Force Microscopes
There’s a wide range in the purchase price of an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) for general laboratory use, usually somewhere between $20,000 and $300,000.
The amount the AFM costs depends on the features and capabilities of the instruments. Typically, AFMs costing less than $30,000 are used for educating students on the operation and application of AFM. The mid-price AFM systems are generally purchased by researchers who want AFM imaging capabilities but do not necessarily want to become AFM “experts”. Those AFMs priced over $100,000 are generally purchased by AFM experts who require very advanced capabilities.
Some of the key differences in the AFMs at different price brackets are explained below:
| $20K - 30K AFMs | - Cell phone type Optics - Noise floor > 250 picometers - Limited modes available - Basic Atomic Force Microscope |
| $30 K - 100 K AFMs | - Table top (TT-2) Atomic Force Microscope
- High Resolution Atomic Force Microscope - Atomic Force Microscope for Atomically Flat Samples - Life Sciences Atomic Force Microscope - Nano-Profiling Atomic Force Microscope - Standalone Atomic Force Microscope |
| $100 K - 300 K AFMs | - Motorized sample position stage - Automated Focus - Noise floor <50 picometers - Advanced options for specialized research - Automated software features - Life Sciences Atomic Force Microscope |
