A.P.E. RESEARCH SRL

Company profile

A.P.E.Research (Applied Physics and Engineering Research) is an high tech company specialised in the production of advanced instrumentation in the field of NanoTechnologies: Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and high resolution nanopositioning systems.
For these instruments our company is able to offer complete customization according to the sector in which these are to be used. This type of instrumentation addresses advanced users, such as Universities and research centres in several fields and disciplines: Material Science, Surface Science, Biology, Chemistry, Medicine.

The technological core business of A.P.E. Research is the development and production of SPM Microscopes like AFM, STM, SNOM. SPM microscopes are a class of instruments able to reconstruct the sub micrometric 3D morphology of sample surface, until distinguish the arrangement of the single molecules and atoms.

All this finds application not only in the field of advanced academic research in many fields among which the following sectors can be mentioned: biology (cell and tissue analysis), biomedical (biomedical prosthesis characterization), micro- and nano-electronics, bio-tech, catalyst chemistry, precision mechanics, manufacturing of composite materials, photovoltaic, pharmaceutical, IT, polymer chemistry, telecommunications, alloy production for various applications (fashion, nautical, aeronaval, …) and food.
