Various tools for cutting, scraping and manipulation can be added to the NanoManipulators for: |

Carbon Copy Paper Industry
A 5um diameter ink bubble on carbon paper is touched with the needle, pierced and opened. By touching the individual ink bubble with the manipulators, the elasic behavior of the bubbles skin is measured. Since the movement is scaled in nm, the wall thickness of the bubble can be determined. |

Pharmaceutical Industry
For the development of new skin creams, the liquidity between individual layers of human skin has to be tested. For this, a NanoRobotics Manipulator detaches small pieces of frozen human skin layer by layer in the SEM. |

|
Surface Coating Industry
The adhesion of 300 nm small palladium spheres laminated onto a thick copper film is tested by selectively pushing single spheres with a probe tip until the adhesion breaks. Dependent on the failure mode, the bonding of the spheres is judged; it only fulfills the requirements if the adhesion breaks between the copper and the substrate, not between spheres and copper.
