• Acoustic Enclosure AE1100 — Nanosurf: A large acoustic enclosure sized to take an AFM together with a standard inverted optical microscope. Three window elements of acoustic isolation glass give access from three sides, while the back and top panels use an acoustic isolation sandwich.
• Acoustic Enclosure AE350 — Nanosurf: A compact acoustic enclosure for the CoreAFM or for an Isostage 300 based FlexAFM or DriveAFM. A multilayer acoustic isolation sandwich and an acoustically isolating cable feed-through cut the airborne noise that reaches the instrument during a scan.
• Acoustic Enclosure AE550 — Nanosurf: A large acoustic enclosure for standard Nanosurf AFM systems and small custom stage systems. It uses a multilayer acoustic isolation sandwich with an acoustically isolating cable feed-through, and can be upgraded with a temperature control system.
• Advanced Humidifier — Nanosurf: A water column with active flow rate and humidity control for measurements that need a set relative humidity. Humidified air is mixed with dry air to hold the target value, and the tubing feeding the experiment is heated to stop condensation forming.
• Basic Humidifier — Nanosurf: A washing bottle with a frit that humidifies gas passively before it reaches the AFM sample space. Gas is fed from a cylinder or wall connection through a flow rate valve, and the humidity reached is set by flow rate alone rather than by active control.
• Cantislide Cantilever Holder with/without Alignment Chip — Nanosurf: A cantilever holder for the FlexAFM and CoreAFM, supplied with or without an alignment chip. The alignment chip version places the cantilever in a fixed position so the laser does not have to be realigned after an exchange, which saves time between samples.
• Conducting Atomic Force Microscopy (C-AFM) Sample Holder — Nanosurf: A sample holder with a current amplifier built into it, for conductive atomic force microscopy. It reads tip currents over a fixed range of plus or minus 25 nA and can be combined with the Environmental Option for measurement under controlled atmosphere.

• Digital Inverted Microscope Option (DIMO) — Nanosurf: A digital optical microscope built into the Isostage 300 vibration isolation platform, giving a view of the sample from below without a separate inverted microscope. It works in transmitted light and accepts a filter cube for basic fluorescence imaging.

Detection and switching are automatic: the booster enables itself at sensitivity scales of 1e-8 A/V and below, stands down for automatic sensitivity switching techniques such as Tafel plots and bulk electrolysis and for galvanostatic techniques, and works with AC impedance. On a bipotentiostat it affects the primary channel only.
• CHI202 Faraday Cage — CH Instruments: The faraday cage is catalogued separately as CHI202 and forms the screening half of the CHI200(B) Picoamp Booster and Faraday Cage.
