Nanosurf was founded in 1997 in Liestal, Switzerland, and has since become one of the most trusted and established AFM brands in the market today. While we continue to develop and manufacture our AFMs from our headquarters in Switzerland, we have grown to be a global company with direct sales, service and support operations in China, Germany, India, Singapore, UK and the US. Since its inception, Nanosurf has focused on designing and manufacturing modular, high-quality and easy-to-use AFMs with excellent price to value ratio.

Nanosurf has a vast knowledge base in scanning probe microscopy, with an average of more than 15 years of AFM experience in our sales, service and development teams. Thanks to their extensive research backgrounds in AFM, our sales and application scientists can help you choose the most suitable AFM for your application and provide you with class-leading support.

Nanosurf was established as a customer-centric company and that tradition continues today. In case a standard instrument does not optimally meet your needs, our team is capable and willing to develop a tailored system for you. Such tailored individualizations are commonly required for samples that are non-planar, large or heavy — a field where our team has unparalleled experience. Nanosurf is the only AFM company to offer you this level of flexibility and customizability.

With the introduction of the DriveAFM in December 2020, Nanosurf was able to firmly plan their foot in the high-end sector of the AFM research market.
