Santa Barbara, CA — Oxford Instruments Asylum Research today announced the launch of the new Cypher VRS1250 video-rate atomic force microscope (AFM). Twice as fast as the first-generation Cypher VRS, the new AFM enables scan rates up to 1250 lines/second and frame rates up to 45 frames/second. This new higher speed will enable researchers to […]

Scanning probe microscopes usually have x/y/z coarse positioning motors, which allow for tip/sample positioning with a precision below the µm range within a larger sample area, which is usually in the range of several millimeters. While software displays all typical signals related to the experiment, the exact position on the sample where a measurement takes […]
