The Cypher VRS AFM is a full-featured video-rate AFM capable of measuring insitu nanoscale dynamic processes at video-rate speeds including particle conformational changes, formation and macromolecular assemblies, and many other dynamic processes that are difficult to trace and analyze with conventional approaches. The AFM offers high-resolution video-rate imaging at up to 625 lines per second, which results in up to 10 frames per second. This tool can process imaging during heating/cooling/biasing as well as imaging of liquids.
- Sample size <15mm
- High resolution video-rate imaging at up to 625 lines per second, which leads to at least 10× faster imaging than current “fast scanning” AFMs.
- Captures data directly to a video format, not individual image frames.
- Capture images at high pixel density (512×512) in just over a second, and reduces scan lines to achieve video rates >10 fps.
- blueDrive photothermal excitation makes video-rate AFM simple and stable.
- Scanner is robust and fully sealed against liquid spills.
- Motorized laser and detector alignment make quick work of instrument setup.
- Liquid perfusion probe holder.
- Fast force mapping mode.
- ORCA conductive AFM (CAFM).
- Current mapping with fast force mapping.
- Time resolved high resolution imaging of dynamic processes in solution with nanometer resolution (self assembly, diffusion, growth, degradation).
- Fast mechanical modulus mapping of surfaces with up to 1000 Hz mapping speed (Young’s modulus, Adhesion, Storage-Loss modulus).
- Environmental perfusion holder.
- Heating/Cooling (temperatures 0-250°C).
