Cypher VRS1250 Video-Rate High Speed AFM

The Cypher VRS1250 is twice as fast as the first-generation Cypher VRS, scanning at up to 1250 lines/second. This enables either higher temporal resolution with frame rates up to 45 frames/second or increased spatial resolution by collecting more image pixels at lower frame rates. Combined with ultra-stable imaging, an easy-to-use fully sealed sample cell with perfusion capability, and a full range of modes and accessories, the Cypher VRS1250 is ready to help you achieve your most ambitious research goals.

  • Designed for both ultra-high speed and ultra-high resolution

  • Stable imaging allows dynamic events to be captured without drift or parameter adjustments

  • Ease of use features make setup and imaging simple

    • Includes all the added flexibility and capabilities of the Cypher ES research AFM

    Designed for ultra-high speed and spatial resolution

    • Select the ideal balance between imaging speed and imaging resolution for your experiments
    • Cypher AFM’s easily and consistently achieve higher resolution than other AFM’s
    • The Cypher VRS1250 enables true video-rate imaging at rates up to 45 frames/second

    Stable imaging keeps the “focus” on your sample

    • The Cypher’s advanced design balances thermal expansion to virtually eliminate thermal drift
    • blueDrive photothermal excitation technology keeps imaging stable over long durations
    • Fully sealed sample cell keep imaging stable such that even delicate biomolecules can be observed without damage

    Ease of use features make it easier to get great results

    • The Cypher VRS1250 is designed with the same ease-of-use features as other Cypher AFM’s
    • Motorized laser and detector alignment and simple probe loading make setup fast and easy
    • A fully sealed sample cell eliminates worries over leakage
    • Software includes features to easily process and export video-rate AFM movies for presentations and publications.

    All the flexibility and capabilities of Cypher AFM's

    • The Cypher VRS1250 supports all the functionality and associated benefits of the Cypher ES environmental AFM
    • Options include sample heating and cooling and a complete range of operating modes.
    • Cypher VRS 1250 is much more than just a video-rate AFM. The platform is the ideal AFM for interdisciplinary research groups and shared imaging facilities.
