Problem
Accurately mapping magnetic fields at high spatial resolution typically requires invasive probes, bulky equipment, or complex sample preparation, limiting the ability of researchers to study magnetic phenomena in geology, biology, electronics, and materials science.
Solution
The Quantum Diamond Microscope (QDM) provides wide‑field, non‑invasive imaging of magnetic fields using ensembles of nitrogen‑vacancy (NV) centers in diamond as quantum sensors. The system captures magnetic maps over millimeter‑scale areas with micron‑level resolution, enabling quantitative analysis of remanent magnetization in geological samples, magnetic labeling in opaque biological tissues, current‑induced fields in electronic devices, and magnetic properties of thin films and 2D materials. Integrated hardware and software streamline data acquisition and processing, allowing researchers to obtain reliable magnetic images without decapsulation or destructive preparation. The platform also supports NV‑based studies of spin dynamics and crystal strain, making it a versatile tool for both applied and fundamental quantum research.
Target Audience
Primary customers are researchers in geoscience, life sciences, electronics engineering, materials science, and quantum physics who require high‑resolution magnetic imaging for sample analysis and device characterization.
