Asylum Research Oxford Instruments Cypher ES AFM

Asylum Research Oxford Instruments Cypher ES AFM

The Cypher ES is a fast-scan AFM that acquires high-resolution images in seconds rather than minutes; thereby enabling dynamic AFM measurements in diverse active systems like lipid bilayers, polymerizing actin networks, nanoparticle membranes, and diblock copolymers. Our Cypher ES is equipped with multiple sample scanners for fast high-resolution imaging in almost any environment: air, fluid, perfusion, and heating/cooling from 0°C to 250°C. The Cypher ES also has conductive AFM, Kelvin Probe, and atomic-resolution femto-STM modes. The Cypher has quickly become one of our most popular and powerful AFMs.

Asylum Research Oxford Instruments MFP-3D-BIO AFM

Asylum Research Oxford Instruments MFP-3D-BIO AFM

The Asylum MFP-3D-BIO AFM is mounted on an inverted optical microscope to enable simultaneous brightfield, widefield epi-fluorescence, or phase imaging. The extended Z-head allows tapping mode and contact imaging within a range of 40µm in Z and 90µm in X and Y. It also is capable of nanomechanical property mapping, bimodal dual-AC imaging, single-molecule force extension measurements, conductive AFM, and STM. An open-access sample area and a range of environmental chambers (BioHeater, Petri Dish Holder, Heater/Cooler, and Polymer Heater) ensure compatibility for nearly any kind of sample (material, chemical, or biological) in air, fluid, or inert atmosphere. Excellent high-temperature (300°C) time-lapse imaging in inert atmospheres with minimal drift is a key advantage. A Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy cell was recently added.
