Dubbed the photographers of nanotechnology, Carbon Nanoprobes, Inc. is making a name as experts in imaging the extremely small. CNP manufactures novel devices for high-end, high-resolution R&D and production imaging environments. These devices are made possible by using carbon nanotube probes for the atomic force microscope. CNP products include Superior metrology solutions for semiconductor manufacturing, Cost effective, efficient, high-resolution images for nanoscale research, and Fast and efficient high-resolution protein-imaging solutions for structural biology and drug discovery. The most exciting and cutting edge area of science today is taking place on the scale of only a few atoms. Nanotechnology promises advances in chip design, drug discovery and advanced materials. The ability to push the edge of nanotechnology necessarily relies upon tools and instruments that can touch, feel and see at the nanoscale. CNP is commercializing a device promising interaction with samples as small as a single molecule. CNProbes is committed to the mass fabrication of nanostructured Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) consumables. Its introduction of the first commercially viable carbon nanotube probe will provide industries from semiconductor and biopharmaceutical to corporate research and academia, an instrument capturing the ballooning demand for more accurate, high-resolution imaging solutions. With the advent of the mass-production of carbon nanotube tips, the company can multiply the power of the atomic force microscope to unprecedented levels.

Material Sciences provides electrogalvanizing, metal coating, laminating and supply chain management services. Its products include Deco Steel, MagnaDamp, MSC Smart Steel, Quiet Aluminum, Sound Trap and Quiet Steel. The company was founded in 1951 and is headquartered in Canton, MI.
