KSV 2000 System 1 for BAM

- Dedicated Langmuir Trough for BAM applications

The KSV2000 System 1 for BAM is a version of KSV's most popular KSV2000 series, which is specially designed for BAM applications, suitable for both KSV BAM300 and Nanofilm BAMs and Ellipsometers. The heart of the system is the Interface unit with the barrier drive and the system set-up is built around it by using the modules and accessories. All the modules are easily plugged into the Interface unit and the system set-up is factory installed and ready to use. The configuration can be up-graded later with various accessories and modules.

The barriers and other mechanics are designed so that the BAM optics can be placed as close as 10mm away from the water surface of the trough.

Configuration includes

  • The KSV 2000 Control Module
  • An Interface unit
  • A Film balance system
  • A Symmetric compression trough

Unique Features

  • Can be controlled directly from the KSV Optrel BAM software and the Nanofilm BAM software 
  • Optional environmental chamber to protect the instrument from airborne particles peripheral disturbances
  • Compatible with KSV Optrel BAM 300 and Nanofilm products

Common features

  • Symmetric or single-sided compression of the monolayer by two inter-linked surface barriers
  • Leak-proof low profile hydrophilic Delrin barriers
  • Form-sintered single piece, non-porous PTFE trough. Surface area 870 cm2, (580 x 150 mm)
  • Subphase temperature control facilitated by aluminum heat/cool base plate operated by external circulating water bath (sold separately)
  • Digital display for surface pressure value
  • Super sensitive film balance with platinum Wilhelmy plate (51066), 100 paper plates (51066FP) and a hook for paper plates (51066FPH)
  • Complete KSV WINLB software for Windows operating systems
  • Comprehensive instruction manual and instructional video CD on how to set up the instrument and start making measurements
  • Complete starter kit to make your first measurements (see accessory KSV-LBKIT)
  • Optional remote control keypad for stand-alone use
  • Optional environmental chamber to protect the instrument from airborne particles and other disturbances
