BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bruker announced today at the 2012 Materials Research Society (MRS) Fall Meeting that its exclusive PeakForce Tapping™ technology has recently surpassed the 100 peer-reviewed publication mark. This rate of adoption is even greater than Bruker’s TappingMode™, which since its launch in the early 1990s, has been considered the primary imaging mode of scanning probe microscopy. PeakForce Tapping is the enabling technology behind Bruker’s suite of proprietary imaging modes that are bringing unprecedented atomic resolution imaging and ease of use to quantitative nanomechanical and nanoelectrical AFM characterization in biological and material science applications.
