Once trained, users need to schedule with Pallavi at least 24 hours in advance before using the wire bonder. The system is a West Bond 7476E and is set up in wedge bonding mode. As of now (2025) the wire bonder is using aluminum wire to bond. text/html 2026-01-20T21:39:19+00:00 gus (gus@undisclosed.example.com) https://minotwiki.physics.oregonstate.edu/doku.php?id=afm&rev=1768945159&do=diff Atomic Force Microscopy * See also: Wikipedia article on AFM * See also: AFM advanced techniques. * See also: AFM upkeep * See also: AFM Image Anaylsis New users of the AFM are expected to get AFM training and then pass the [AFM quiz].
