NANOEDUCATOR. The emerging field of nanotechnology has developed from many different areas of science and engineering- biology, chemistry, polymer science, etc.
Thus the application of nanotechnology has a great influence not only on science, but also on daily life, therefore, mentoring the next generation of researchers in Nanoscience by means of hands-on training is an all-important quest.
For this purpose NT-MDT designed the NANOEDUCATOR - a teaching Scanning Probe Microscope (SPM). This teaching SPM comes with a set of learning aids, accessories for introducing students to SPM, nanotechnology and giving them a basic understanding of how to perform experiments with objects at nanoscale level.
The NANOEDUCATOR, student oriented SPM, is your key to the micro & nano world, developed for use by first-time microscope users, it navigates you through step-by-step operation. This SPM is designed to capture the student’s interest in science and train future nanotechnologists using both AFM and STM techniques.
Robust and foolproof, the NANOEDUCATOR provides an interdisciplinary education with a broad understanding of different fields of Nanoscience. With this approach students can study and explore the structure of cells, DNA, bacteria, metals, polymers etc.
The NANOEDUCATOR can be purchased as a standalone system or as a ready-to-teach science training laboratory.
Components of the NANOEDUCATOR scientific training laboratory:
- 3-5 scanning probe microscopes
- Teacher’s computer workstation
- Etching tool for sharpening the probes
- Tip exchanging tool
- Training manual on principles of SPM and nanolithography
- Textbook
- Detailed user’s guide
- Virtual scanning operation by special demo mode in software
- Advanced contextual Help
- FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) collection
- Laboratory courses with a set of test samples and probes
The user friendly software of the NANOEDUCATOR is compatible with MAC OS and Windows.
Comprehensive remote control from teacher’s computer allows an interactive learning experience.
The NANOEDUCATOR perfectly suited for teaching high school, junior colleges, technical vocational training as well as higher education.
