Ionscope: SICM scan modes

A series of short videos produced by iemedia solutions ( http://www.iemedia.co.uk ) for Ionscope Limited ( http://www.ionscope.com ) depicting their Scanning Ion Conductance Microscope operating in its various scanning modes (DC, AC, and Hopping). All computer graphics and video production was done entirely in-house by iemedia solutions (http://www.iemedia.co.uk).

Notes:
The nested translucent green spheres at the pipette tip represent iso-potential surfaces.
Graph labels:
i = ion current (represented by the red particle stream)
sp = ion current set point
z = distance of nanopipette tip from surface
