High resolution atomic force microscope (AFM) <60 pm | Cypher™
Asylum Research
Cypher™ AFM, the world's highest resolution AFM with closed loop atomic resolution for the most accurate images. With the Cypher AFM, you no longer have to choose between the accuracy and control of closed loop and the low noise of open loop. Asylum's third generation NanoPositioning System (NPS™) sensors are the quietest in the world today. With positioning accuracies better than 60pm in X, Y and Z, you not only achieve atomic resolution in closed loop, you also get the most accurate measurements, positioning and nanomanipulation possible. Cypher utilizes laser spot sizes as small as 3µm to enable high-speed AC imaging with small cantilevers, allowing you to use cantilevers smaller than 10µm for fast imaging and sub-picoNewton force measurements-10X faster AC imaging. Spot-On™ automated laser alignment for easy setup, and integrated thermal/acoustic control. Cypher's proprietary system-level mechanical design is inherently immune to normal environmental vibration, eliminating the need for additional isolation add-ons for most labs. The integrated system enclosure includes thermal control and additional acoustic isolation for noisy environments. Cypher also features unimpeded 180° optical/mechanical access to your samples and a small 40x42cm footprint that conserves lab space. High resolution top-view optics with Köhler illumination provide crystal clear viewing of your sample and tip. Cypher's custom optics with 20X objective are limited only by physical diffraction. You'll see sub-micron resolution over a 690x920µm field of view with digital zoom and pan.
