AFM-Cypher S Asylum Research

Thanks to its built-in features, the Cypher-S provides significant easiness of use and performance benefits for imaging topography, mechanical, electrical, and magnetic properties in air and liquids.

Instrument Features and proprieties:

Standard Scanning modes :

• • Contact : uses feedback on deflection.
  • AC: uses feedback on amplitude.
  • Force: force curve acquisition and mapping in contact or AC mode.

SpotOn™: automated laser alignment for an easier positioning of the laser spot on your cantilever.

Laser spot size: 3μm enable high-speed AC imaging with ultra-small cantilevers. *

Scan size XY: 30μm

BlueDrive photo-thermal excitation for AC imaging. ^♦

Integrated enclosure: allows for 0.1° thermal control and 20dB acoustic isolation.

* In general, using ultra-small cantilevers, you can record images in liquids at the speed of one second per image on biological molecules fixed on mica.

^♦ Produces an almost ideal cantilever response in liquids by directly exciting photother

mally the cantilever.
