Santa Clara, California -- July 8, 2002 Pacific Nanotechnology, Inc., announces its fifth year of operations. Initially founded by pioneering instrument designer, Dr. Ron Gamble, Pacific Scanning changed its name to Pacific Nanotechnology in the fourth quarter of 2001. Associated with a name change, there was a dramatic expansion in Pacific Nanotechnology's operations.

According to Dr. Gary Aden, Pacific Nanotechnology's President, "We believe that there is a substantial market need for Atomic Force Microscopes that have high performance, are easy to use and are affordable. Our plan at Pacific Nanotechnology is to offer atomic force microscope products that help facilitate advances in Nanotechnology and Nanoscience for research, development, and process control." Dr. Aden's experience in the field of probe microscopy dates back to 1991 when he became the president of TopoMetrix. Later he served as the president of ThermoMicroscopes.

Over its five year history, Pacific Nanotechnology developed and introduced several advanced products including an SPM Controller and an AFM scanning head. Most recently the Nano-R AFM was introduced and is being sold world wide by a network of sales engineers and distributors. Dr. Paul West, V.P. of Products, points out that "because our products were developed over the past five years there is substantial cost savings in our designs that we can pass on to our customers."

Pacific Nanotechnology is emerging as a leading provider of nanotechnology instrumentation for research, development, and process control applications. Pacific Nanotechnology Corporate Headquarters are located in Silicon Valley and its Technology Center is located in Tustin California.
