The sleek design of the Nanobase Phocusan Scanning Photocurrent Microscope is one-of-a-kind and never-before-seen for a scanning photocurrent microscope or a probe station.
We have simplified the instrument design of Phocuscan to maximize user convenience. The video below showcases the performance of this state-of-the-art instrument.

As photocurrent measurement and mapping emerge as one of the most popular research techniques that complement Raman spectroscopy for material analysis applications, Nanobase have introduced a stand-alone type SPCM (scanning photocurrent microscope) dubbed "Phocuscan."
Phocuscan is compact, high-performance, and low-cost, three core features of which all Nanobase products have in common. Phocuscan offers the same strong scanning (mapping) capabilities with the wide scanning area of 200 x 200 µm when using 40X objective as our Raman microscope products and features 1 µm resolution multi-axis micro-positioners directly developed by Nanobase.
Phocuscan is compatible with Keithley 2400 or 2600 sourcemeters and lasers at wavelength 400 ~ 730 nm and 780 ~ 1,000 nm. Customers may opt to integrate their own Keithley sourcemeter or fiber coupled lasers to Phocuscan.
High performance micro-positioners
- Phocuscan features micro-positioners developed by Nanobase.
- The cross roller bearing and micrometer drives give these positioners a complete adjustability.
- These miniature-design, magnet-base positioners offer 1 µm resolution and 8 mm travel range.
- Up to four micro-positioners are mountable on the sample stage.
Reliable measuring software tailored to your Keithley SMUs
We individually modify the NanoPhotocurrent software suite to work with your Keithley sourcemeter unit (2400, 2600 series). We are also delighted to make it compatible with other Keithley sourcemeter unit models, so just
A wide range of accessories to optimize your photocurrent research
Phocuscan offers a variety of accessories such as optical choppers, polarizers, and vaccum pumps to help you achieve your photocurrent research goals depending on your research concepts.
Phocuscan also offers a reference sample designed specially for photocurrent calibration. With this complimentary reference sample, you can ensure stable data acquisition at all times.
Simple workflow with the easy software
NanoPhotocurrent, our software dedicated to photocurrent measurement, provides streamlined experience in hardware settings and photocurrent data acquisition.
With our newly developed automated mode change function, the easier, faster system operation is guaranteed. Place your device on the sample stage, put probe tips on to the device, focus an objective on the device, then you are all set to take photocurrent data!
The same scanning (mapping) capability you enjoyed with our Raman microscope products is also realized on Phocuscan.
