Cypher Atomic Force Microscope/Scanning Probe Microscope

The Cypher™ Atomic Force Microscope/Scanning Probe Microscope (AFM/SPM) is a new instrument that is available in the Department of Physics and Astronomy's Condensed Matter Physics (CMP) group. This state of the art instrument was funded by the Center of Research Excellence in Complex Materials (CORE-CM) as one of the common facilities for the center. The Asylum - Cypher™ AFM is the first totally new small sample AFM/SPM in over a decade, with more capability, more control, more functionality, more modularity, and more resolution - all with over 20X faster scanning and striking ease of use.
