The Cypher VRS AFM is the first and only full-featured video-rate AFM. Finally, researchers can measure nanoscale dynamic processes at video-rate speeds
with all of the resolution, versatility, and ease of use that are the hallmarks of an Asylum Research Cypher™ AFM.
• High resolution video-rate imaging at up to 625 lines per second
• Exceptional ease of use — even at 10 frames per second
• Full range of modes and accessories — unlimited capabilities at normal scan speeds
Cypher VRS is faster, much faster
The Cypher VRS speed is 300× faster than normal AFMs and at least 10× faster than current “fast scanning” AFMs.
More than video-rate AFM
The Cypher VRS has unlimited capabilities when imaging at normal speeds. It performs all the same modes as our Cypher ES AFM and is compatible with the complete range of environmental accessories. Existing Cypher S and Cypher ES AFMs can be upgraded to the Cypher VRS.
