Not every experiment fits a standard configuration. From ultra-high vacuum (UHV) environments and specialized sample handling to extreme temperatures and limited laboratory space, advanced surface science often requires more than an off-the-shelf solution.

At RHK Technology, we design scanning probe microscopy platforms around the demands of your research. Because the right instrumentation should adapt to your experiment—not the other way around.

Read this month’s blog to see how RHK’s tailored hardware solutions support complex experimental needs.

In honor of National Nanotechnology Day on October 9th, RHK Technology President Adam Kollin and Sales Manager Benjamin Kollin visited a middle school in Waterford, Michigan, to share how nanotechnology offers exciting opportunities for the future.

Nanotechnology explores the world at an incredibly small scale (roughly one-billionth of a meter), allowing scientists to develop new technologies and solve problems in innovative ways. National Nanotechnology Day is designed to entice students to explore the impact of this transformative science. 🔬

RHK Technology is proud to be part of advancing the vision of nanoscience and helping inspire young minds.

On This Day in SPM History | October 14, 1988

SPM research was expanding beyond traditional surface physics.

On October 14, 1988, Paul Hansma, V. Elings, O. Marti, and C. Bracker published a significant Science paper exploring applications of Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) in biology and technology.

The work helped demonstrate the versatility of scanning probe microscopy—and the potential to explore the nanoscale across a growing range of research fields.

More than three decades later, SPM continues to push the boundaries of what researchers can see and measure at the nanoscale.

Some of the biggest discoveries begin at an incredibly small scale.

On National Nanotechnology Day, RHK Technology is celebrating the researchers exploring surfaces, materials, and phenomena where the details are measured in billionths of a meter. From seeing atomic-scale structures to investigating new material behaviors, nanoscale research is helping expand what we understand about the world around us.

Here’s to the researchers asking big questions at the smallest scales. 🌎🔬

RHK Technology’s VT Beetle systems provide variable-temperature UHV SPM capabilities for both STM and AFM. With a wide operating range from 25 K to 1500 K, the Beetle enables researchers to study materials and surfaces across a broad range of temperatures. Users can easily switch between STM and AFM in UHV while also exchanging and storing samples, tips, and probes without breaking vacuum.

The Beetle can also be integrated with RHK’s preparation and analysis chambers to create a multi-technique nanotechnology research platform. Depending on the configuration, systems can incorporate sample manipulation and transfer, specialized preparation and analytical tools, thermal control, electrical connections, and other capabilities designed around the researcher’s specific needs.
