MadPLL® is a powerful instrument package that allows the user to create an inexpensive, high resolution resonant scanning probe microscope using Mad City Labs nanopositioning systems. In short, MadPLL® can be used to create an “instant” closed loop AFM or NSOM at a fraction of the cost of commercial systems. MadPLL® is suitable for nanoscale characterization and nanoscale fabrication applications such as optical antennas, nano-optics, semiconductors, data storage, and more. |
What is MadPLL®? MadPLL® is an integrated solution that includes the digital phase lock loop (PLL) controller, software, sensor amplifier board and resonant probe mounting board. Simply add your Akiyama probe or tuning fork to the probe board to create a powerful force sensor for scanning probe measurements.
MadPLL® includes a sensor amplifier board and probe boards. The probe boards are designed for use with tuning forks, Akiyama probesand Accutune probes.

MadPLL® Software MadPLL® software simplifies the control of your scanning probe microscope. All of the functions of MadPLL® are fully automated but accessible via individual software control. Among the software features are automated setup, configuration control, auto-Q calculation and automatic parasitic capacitance compensation (PCC) control. These included features are designed to simplify setup and accelerate the data acquisition process. MadPLL® software integrates seamlessly with Mad City Labs' AFMView™ software. AFMView™ software is part of our complete SPM development system. |

All Mad City Labs nanopositioning systems have low noise PicoQ® sensors and closed loop feedback control. Using MadPLL® the user can create a high performance scanning probe instrument at low cost.Additional options available from Mad City Labs Quartz Crystal Tuning ForksAFMView software (included with SPM-M Kit)Other configurations of 3 axis closed loop nanopositioners* (e.g. Nano-HS3 Series, Nano-OP30 (Z), Nano-H Series (XY))Vacuum compatible nanopositionersLED IlluminatorTungsten tip etching kit* All Mad City Labs nanopositioning systems include the Nano-Drive® controller which is fully LabVIEW/C++/MATLAB compatible.AFM configurations typically achieve Z resolutions of 0.5nm (rms) and a scanning frequency of 1Hz. Higher resolutions and scan speeds can be achieved using different nanopositioner combinations. All Mad City Labs nanopositioning systems ahave low noise PicoQ® sensors and closed loop feedback control.Recommended additional items Vibration isolation tableCoarse Z-axis approach (manual or automated) |
