The MFLI 500kHz / 5MHz Lock-in Amplifier

The realm of nanotechnology and materials science is constantly pushing the boundaries to uncover the secrets of novel materials and their near-atomic scale properties. These advancements require measurement instruments with ultra-low-noise electronics, empowering you to carry out experiments in both noisy and low-noise environments while providing versatility and optimized workflows.

Zurich Instruments Lock-in Amplifiers offer the unique capability to precisely measure current (I), voltage (V), phase, and impedance at both DC and AC levels. At the same time, they also enable direct noise measurements, eliminating the need for complex multi-instrument setups and allowing you to extract a wealth of information from your samples with a single instrument.

In addition to the exceptional low-noise hardware performance, the LabOne control software offers powerful analysis tools, such as spectral analysis, minimizing post-processing overheads. Whether you are studying Hall effect coefficients, spin dynamics, or transport properties of novel materials, Zurich Instruments solutions cater to your material characterization needs.

Read on to discover how hardware and software designed to work in concert can help you reach your goals faster.

Webinar

As the size of electronic devices goes down to a few nanometers, interfaces become increasingly relevant and often dominate and interfere with a device's performance. In this webinar, Jelena Trbovic and Heidi Potts take you from general interface considerations to nanodevice characterization with lock-in amplifiers.
