The Faculty of Physics, Astronomy, and Applied Computer Studies of the Jagiellonian University has a new Laboratory of Nano-structures. The laboratory is equipped with the a nanoprobe device which facilitates the manipulation of objects in nanoscale and helps to visualize them. There are only two similar devices in the world: in Toulouse and Singapore.

The Laboratory of Nanostructures is being created within "Studying the arrangements in atomic scale – science for innovative economy (ATOMIN)" project to become a part of the Laboratory of Nanotechnology and Surface Science. The opening of the laboratory was accompanied by launching an integrated system for synthesis and nanostructures' examination also known as nanoprobe.

Nanoprobe system enables gathering information about chemical content of a given sample or moving atoms on the surface. This facilitates the measurement of electronical conduction with unusual precision.  

Apart from the information about sample's topography, possible to retrieve thanks to the tunnel or electronic microscope, nanoprobe also provides detailed information about particular elements present on the surface of the analysed material thanks to the nanoprobe's high resolution capability.
