美國太平洋納米科技公司（PNI）是一家專業設計、制造掃描探針顯微鏡并服務于納米領域應用的廠商，公司創建于1997年，公司匯聚了掃描探針顯微鏡領域的眾多專家（包括Gary Aden和Paul West等掃描探針顯微鏡界知名人士），擁有很強的開發能力，率先開發出平板式掃描器和雙掃描器等先進的AFM，目前平板式掃描器已經廣泛應用于生物、材料以及電子產品開發等領域。經過數年的發展，公司已經成為掃描探針顯微鏡的主要供應商之一，目前在世界范圍內擁有大量的用戶，其中包括：斯坦福大學、密西根大學、印第安納州立大學、伯克利大學、加州理工大學、九州大學、美國宇航局、美國質量檢驗檢疫局、Sony、Epson、NEC、Nikon、Canon、現代、LG等知名院校和企業。
1997 年創建時名稱為Pacific Scanning，是一家專業生產AFM 控制器和其它零部件的企業，主要為全世界大型AFM 公司（包括Thermo Microscopes 公司）提供代工（OEM）服務，2001 年Thermo 被收購后其技術高管（Gary Aden 和Paul West等）便入主Pacific Scanning 公司，并更名為現在的Pacific Nanotechnology 公司。PNI 公司為了更好地服務于中國,PNI 公司融合了美國最新電子學技術和日本Toyo 公司多年SPM 技術支持的實際成果率先開發出高線形掃描器SPM，能夠滿足科研和工業用戶的多方面性能和操作的需要。所有的型號都配備高性能的“Closed Loop”（閉環）控制線性掃描器。
Pacific Nanotechnology provides products and services that facilitate advances in nanotechnology and nanoresearch. Our products are optimized for research, development, and process control applications when visualization, modification, and measurement of nanometer-sized surface structure is critical.
