NanoScope V Controller Components

A NanoScope V Controller consists of a minimum of three components:

• The controller box
• A Digital Signal Processing/Interface (DSI) (located in the computer tower or in, in the case of the NanoScope V-PI, located in the controller)
• A cable to connect the computer and controller

Controllers configured for Dimension and BioScope microscopes include two cables to connect the controller to the microscope. Controllers configured for MultiMode V microscopes include one cable and a 37-pin adapter to connect the controller to the microscope. Also required are one large (30”, minimum resolution 2560 x 1600) or two smaller (19”, minimum resolution 1280 x 1024) computer monitors which may be purchased with the controller or supplied separately. As the associated computer and Windows XP operating system are custom-fitted with a DSP board and NanoScope software, the computer must be supplied by Bruker. At minimum, an NanoScope V-controlled system includes a compatible SPM, either supplied with the NanoScope V or an existing SPM capable of being upgraded to NanoScope V operation.
