Angstrom Scientific Inc. will distribute QDI/GETec AFSEM in North America
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – July 1, 2019 – Quantum Design International (QDI) announces the appointment of Angstrom Scientific Inc., as the North American distributor for the Quantum Design/GETec AFSEM, an AFM designed to provide in-situ studies in a variety of existing host systems such as scanning electron microscopes. It features an AFM module that uses self-sensing cantilevers to provide correlative analysis in SEM or Dualbeam (SEM/FIB) microscopes. QDI recently announced its acquisition of GETec, an Austrian company specializing in atomic force microscopy (AFM) instrumentation.
Now, to better reach potential users of this technology, QDI has entered into a distribution agreement with Angstrom Scientific Inc., a leading source for microscopy products. Jerry Daviess, CEO of Quantum Design International, was excited at the possibilities this new partnership would provide, “Angstrom Scientific is very well known in the field of microscopy and nano-science. Their relationships and history with researchers and institutions in this market will provide new opportunities for the AFSEM product to reach the people who will benefit most from its adoption in the lab.”
Bob Sommerville, CEO of Angstrom Scientific Inc., commented, “We are delighted to have the opportunity to work with the QD/GETec team, and to have the GETec AFSEM product in the Angstrom portfolio. Having worked with the management team of GETec in the past for many years, I have the utmost confidence that the AFSEM product they have developed will be an excellent new tool for correlative AFM in the SEM and/or FIB/SEM. It further supports and compliments the growing trend of in-situ and correlative techniques which forms much of Angstrom’s product portfolio.”
