Neaspec GmbH

The Inventors & Leading Experts of Background-Free Nanoscale Optical Imaging & Spectroscopy

“Trusted to deliver cutting-edge solutions for nanoscale optical imaging & spectroscopy for research laboratories in industry and academic institutions” is central to neaspecs’ philosophy.

The company was founded in 2007 by the world’s leading experts of near-field microscopy as a spin-off from the the Max-Planck-Institute of Biochemistry near Munich

Since 2014, neaspec GmbH belongs to Wittenstein SE Group from Igersheim-Harthausen, Germany.

neaspec’s engineers developed the neaSNOM microscope, an ultra-stable & easy-to-use optical near-field microscope using a ground-breaking and patented optical background-filtering technique (PH-detection).

neaSNOM combines the best of two worlds – the nanoscale resolution of atomic force microscopy (AFM) with the analytical power of visible, infrared and even THz imaging & spectroscopy. At a spatial resolution of only 10nm the method only requires standard AFM sample preparation. This opens a new era for modern nano-analytical applications such as chemical nano-identification (IR), nano-plasmonic field mapping (VIS & IR) or free charge carrier nano-mapping (THz).
