There are two fluid cells that are commonly used for fluid imaging:
• Model FC is a fluid cell can be used for imaging samples in fluid using Contact Mode
only.
• Model MTFML is a fluid cell that can be used for imaging samples in fluid using either
TappingMode or Contact Mode.
These two fluid cells differ only in that the TappingMode fluid cell has a piezoelectric element that
provides the probe oscillation needed for TappingMode.
The fluid cell comes with the following accessories:
• 10 glass cover slips (for use as sample substrates)
• silicone tubing
• 5cc syringe
• 4 male Luer fittings
• 2 female Luer fittings
• 2 tube clamps
• 6 silicone O-rings
• Silicone grease
• Lens paper
