The QuSpin Zero-Field Magnetometer (QZFM) is an ultra-sensitive vector magnetometer that operates in low field environments. It is among the most sensitive magnetic detectors with performance rivaling superconducting technologies. The sensor head operates at room temperature and fully integrates the laser with other components, eliminating the complexities from fiber optics or cryogenics. Each QZFM is self-calibrating and can simultaneously measure field components along two or three axes. The compact electronics module with a dedicated microprocessor provides all necessary functionality to simply operate the sensor with a few clicks of the mouse.
