Park Systems, Korea, a world-leading supplier of atomic force microscopes announced the opening of its new Eastern Regional Lab at Northeastern University’s 14-acre Innovation Campus in Burlington, Mass. The new facility is located on Boston’s Route 128 high-tech corridor, 15 miles north of the city in Building V, a new $70 million, mixed-research building with 40,000+ square feet available for co-located university, industry, and government research partners.<\/p>\n
To date, 22 industry partners are co-located on the Innovation Campus, including Raytheon, Rogers Corp. (global supplier of engineered materials for telecoms and electronics industries), and VRC Metal Systems (innovative developer of commercial systems for metal-based additive manufacturing) along with 18 early-stage companies across a range of technologies.<\/p>\n
Park Systems offers a complete line of AFM systems with advanced imaging modes that meet the application requirements of today’s technology researchers. The extensive product line addresses the most pressing issues in materials science, EV electronics, and failure analysis including advanced defect inspection methods, chemical\/mechanical analysis, and 2D materials. R&D 100 Award Winner, Park FX40 is the first automatic AFM system that combines the accuracy and versatility needed in a research system with ease-of-use automation features never offered on a research AFM before.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur atomic force microscopes address topographical imaging and characterization use cases that provide a foundation for researchers who are studying materials and their functional properties,\u201d said David Faddis, Northeastern Regional Manager, Park Systems Americas.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will provide users with AFM research capabilities including new innovative imaging techniques for SECCM and in-situ measurements as well as systems that are combined with IR and WLI.\u201d<\/p>\n
