Biophotonics probes and sensors integration (BioProbe)

BioProbe is a collaborative initiative by the biophotonics team at Tyndall, focusing on the design and integration of miniature biophotonics probes and sensors for prototyping. This project aims to create advanced probes specifically tailored for various biophotonics applications. The design process considers critical aspects to ensure high performance, miniaturisation and precision.

X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS/UPS)

UNINOVA offers characterization of surfaces in terms of chemical (oxidation states) and elemental constitution as well as surface potentials (including work functions). In depth-resolved analysis is provided by argon cluster depth profiling.

Scanning Electron Microscopy

UNINOVA offers access to the entire value chain related to SEM analyses of different kinds of samples (thin films, substrates, nanostructures, etc.). Additionally, it is also possible to analyze samples using FIB, EDS, GIS, and in-situ electrical characterization.

Atomic Force Microscope (AFM)

An AFM works by quasi-physically probing a surface, allowing to generate not only topography images with xyz quantitative data, but also to obtain nanoscale information on properties such as mechanical or electrical behaviour.
