Oxford Instruments Asylum Research, U.K., introduces the Cypher VRS AFM, a full-featured video-rate atomic force microscope that enables researchers to measure nanoscale dynamic processes at video-rate speeds with all of the resolution, versatility, and ease of use of an Asylum Research Cypher AFM.
Cypher VRS is at least ten times faster than current “fast scanning” AFMs, providing high-resolution video-rate imaging at up to 625 lines per second. It captures data directly to a video format, not individual image frames, and captures images at high pixel density (512×512) in just over a second, or it can reduce scan lines to achieve video rates >10 fps.
BlueDrive photothermal excitation makes video-rate AFM simple and stable. The scanner is extremely robust and fully sealed against liquid spills for complete reliability. The motorized laser and detector alignment makes quick work of instrument setup.
The instrument includes a full range of modes and accessories—all the capabilities of Cypher ES at normal scan speeds, as well as all of the modes included on the Cypher ES with blueDrive.
