Founded in 2007, our mission at ICSPI is to expand access to nanoscale measurement tools. We make desktop atomic force microscopes (AFMs) with unmatched time-to-results, ease of use and hassle-free operation.
Our systems enable scientists and engineers to make discoveries faster and shorten development cycles: allowing them to focus on advancing science and driving technology forward.
Our first product, the nGauge, is a desktop AFM that can collect scans with sub-nanometer precision in an unheard of 90 seconds from sample loading. Scientists, engineers and educators in over 40 countries use the nGauge everyday for research, product development and teaching.
Our second product, the Redux, is a motorized, automated AFM that can precisely navigate to regions of interest on the sample. The Redux sets a new standard for automation and user-friendliness in nanoscale imaging.

ICSPI (pronounced “eye see spy”) is proudly headquartered in Kitchener-Waterloo, Canada. All of our instruments are designed, assembled and shipped from our headquarters.
