Nanotechnology is exploding. The world of small sizes has never been as vital for so many directions in science and industry. With this new direction comes a greater need for measurement on the atomic scale and new demands for reliable, precise, and multi-purpose instrumentation. NT-MDT enjoys a 17-year history in instrumentation created specifically for nanotechnology research, leading the in pure modularity multi-user research center or the ultimate amalgamation of SPM with related technologies that has resulted in ultramicrotomy for
