Capabilities
The easyscan offers high quality images in an a surprisingly portable container. The entire apparatus weighing well under 20 pounds, we are able to easily transport the device to lectures, demonstrations, and outreach programs at local schools. The image quality has proven sufficient to publish [1,2], and the low current scan head has enables us to studying self assembled monolayers at the ambient conditions offered by the device.
