KSV 2000 System 3 - Alternating multilayer LB system
Alternating Multilayer Langmuir-Blodgett system for unsupervised deposition of ordered layers of two different monolayers on solid substrates, as well as all the System 1 and System 2 applications.
Configuration includes
- The KSV 2000 Control Module
- An Interface Unit
- An alternating layer trough
- An alternating dipper / substrate handling device
- 2 film balances
- 1 barrier drive
Unique Features
- A Dipping well in the centre of the trough
- An alternating dipping device, for fully automatic and software-controlled LB-film deposition on solid substrates
Common features
- Symmetric or one-sided compression of the monolayer by two inter-linked surface barriers
- Leak proof hydrophilic Delrin barriers (x4)
- Form-sintered single piece, non-porous PTFE double trough. Surface area 2 x 930 cm2, (775 x 120 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
