Product News: Oxford Instruments Asylum Research releases fast force mapping (FFM) nanomechanical mode on Jupiter XR, large sample atomic force microscope
07 May 2021
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 AFM probe holder, sample conductivity can also be characterized.

Abstract:
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 capture nanoscale details of dynamic events that were previously inaccessible, including biochemical reactions, 2D molecular self-assembly, and etch and dissolution processes and more. The Cypher VRS1250 is unique among high-speed AFMs in that it can also support a full range of modes and accessories, not just high-speed imaging, which makes it a very versatile tool for large interdisciplinary research groups and shared imaging facilities with multiple projects.

The peptide degrades the lipid molecules, eating away the bilayer patch from the inside out. Here, we show just 6 of the over 12,000 image frames collected during the experiment.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology
MIT.nano has announced that Oxford Instruments Asylum Research, a company that manufactures and supplies atomic force microscopy (AFM) instruments for academic research and industrial R&D, has joined the MIT.nano Consortium.
Asylum Research, one of seven businesses comprising the Oxford Instruments Group, designs tools for characterizing samples from both materials and bioscience research. In addition to imaging, their equipment has quantitative measurement capabilities for nanoelectrical, nanomechanical, and electromechanical characterization.
“We are excited to welcome Oxford Instruments Asylum Research to the MIT.nano Consortium,” says Vladimir Bulović, the founding faculty director of MIT.nano and the Fariborz Maseeh (1990) Professor of Emerging Technology. “Their technical expertise and cutting-edge atomic force microscopy instruments will propel the impact of MIT’s discoveries and open the door to new nanoscale horizons in our f
