Give a second life to the AFM you already own
One controller upgrades a wide range of legacy systems: Bruker MultiMode and Dimension D3100, plus the MI, Agilent, and Keysight series. Keep every existing mode and add HD-KFM, ResiScope™, and Soft Interaction Control.

The upgrade in action
Real systems, real labs: a full overview across every supported platform, plus the new dedicated Dimension upgrade. Every existing mode stays intact.
MultiMode and Dimension D3000 / D3100
Drive the MultiMode and Dimension D3000 / D3100 platforms, originally built by Digital Instruments, Veeco, and Bruker. Existing modes stay intact, while CCD camera and motorized stage control are integrated for point, click, and measure automated workflows.
MI, Agilent and Keysight series
The Galaxy Dual Controller also operates the MI, Agilent, and Keysight platforms: 5500/5100, 5400/5420, 5600LS, and PicoSPM. One controller brings HD-KFM, ResiScope™, and Soft Interaction Control to each of them, with your existing modes preserved.
