(Santa Barbara, CA). Oxford Instruments Asylum Research is pleased to announce the release of Fast Force Mapping (FFM) mode for the Jupiter XR atomic force microscope (AFM). The FFM mode enables users to image sample topography and simultaneously acquire nanomechanical information such as elasticity, adhesion, and hardness. Additionally, when used in conjunction with the conductive […]
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 […]
SANTA CLARA, Calif. — Park Systems, world leading manufacturer of Atomic Force Microscopes announced the company stock valuation exceeded 1 Trillion KRW (almost $1 Billion USD) at the end of KOSDAQ on April 5, 2021. Park Systems issued 1 million shares for its initial public offering on December 17th, 2015 at KOSDAQ, a NASDAQ equivalent in Korea. Since the IPO, the company has progressed […]
(Santa Barbara, CA). Oxford Instruments Asylum Research announces the release of the Variable Field Module (VFM) accessory for the Jupiter XR atomic force microscope (AFM). The adjustable magnetic field enabled by the VFM accessory is useful for applications such as imaging the domain reversal behaviour of ferromagnetic thin films, studying magnetic field dependent resistance in […]
SPM-Nanoa (main unit only) Shimadzu has released the SPM-Nanoa scanning probe microscope. This high-sensitivity instrument provides high-resolution observations, features a low-noise detection optical mechanism, and automates optical adjustments and the work of setting the observation conditions. It will contribute to the evaluation of, and research into, cutting-edge nano materials as a mid-range scanning probe microscope […]
Santa Barbara, CA. Oxford Instruments Asylum Research is pleased to announce the release of the NanoRack in situ tensile and compression sample stage accessory for the Jupiter XR atomic force microscope (AFM). The NanoRack is a high-strain, high-travel stage that enables polymer films, fibers and other materials to be examined in situ by AFM under […]
Oxford Instruments Asylum Research is proud to announce that it has joined as a member of the MIT.nano Consortium. This membership is directly aligned with the Oxford Instruments core purpose “to address some of the world’s most pressing challenges.” As part of the membership agreement, Asylum Research has provided MIT.nano with a Jupiter XR large-sample […]
This year, instead of sending Christmas presents to its customers, WITec GmbH is donating 5,000 Euros to the Albert Einstein Discovery Center Association. “As a manufacturer of microscopy systems from Ulm, and through our close connection to physics, it is especially important to us to help make the Albert Einstein Discovery Center a reality,” emphasized Dr. […]
