Instrumentation:

Bruker Multimode 8 Atomic Force Microscope

MultiMode 8-HR is an atomic force microscope which is well suited for imaging in both air and fluid. Heating to 250C, cooling to -35C with temperature control accessories. Nanothermal analysis for local polymer phase transition temperatures up to 350C.. Atomic resolution electrochemistry with AFM, STM, and SECPM. Invent your own mode by accessing and modifying any signal, high or low voltage. A large variety of standard operating modes and many capabilities enable the MultiMode 8-HR AFM system to characterize everything from mechanical to electrical properties [Product Link]

Description:

The FaCT Core contains instrumentation and expertise for the fabrication, characterization, and testing of biomedical devices, sensors, and systems. The FaCT Core administratively combines 4 existing engineering cores: the Idaho Microfabrication Laboratory (IML); Boise State Center for Materials Characterization (BSCMC); Research Machining and Engineering (RME) center; and Biomechanics and Mechanobiology (BMMB) facility. This core facility offer a wide variety of instruments (e.g., 3D printers, deposition and photolithography tools, profilometers, AFM, SEM, TEM, XRD, XRF, light microscopy, confocal microscopy, cell culture, etc.) and services (design, machining, imaging, etc.) to both Boise State University researchers and external users.
