Anasys Instruments has licensed a technology from Oak Ridge National Laboratory that combines atomic force microscopy with mass spectrometry. The technology allows simultaneous physical and chemical characterization of samples and could expand research in areas ranging from energy materials to drug discovery. The technology makes possible image resolutions as small as 250 nm.
