Oxford Instruments Asylum Research announces today the release
of Vero, the first and only AFM with Quadrature Phase Differential
Interferometry (QPDI) cantilever sensing technology. Vero builds on
the ultra-high performance, stability, and capabilities of Asylum’s
Cypher AFM family, and because the QPDI detector measures the true
vertical tip displacement, it can produce more accurate and more
repeatable AFM results.
“This exciting new product builds on Asylum Research’s rich
tradition of leading innovation within the AFM market. The Vero
AFM, with its novel QPDI detector, redefines what is possible. I am
looking forward to seeing the many exciting results our customers
will get using this new technology,” said Dr. Mario Viani,
President of Asylum Research.
The QPDI detector improves measurement sensitivity, so even
ultra-low piezoelectric response materials like hafnia can now be
characterized with Vero. Because the QPDI detector directly
measures tip displacement, it avoids many of the artifacts
associated with conventional AFMs. Thus, Vero measures a true
representation of the sample properties. “The introduction of QPDI
cantilever sensing will be a major breakthrough for the AFM
research community,” said Dr. Roger Proksch, Chief Technology
Officer for Asylum Research. “QPDI solves many longstanding
disadvantages of the optical beam cantilever detection method that
has been industry standard for over 30 years. The new QPDI
technology will make Vero more accurate, repeatable and allow Vero
customers to more confidently interpret and use their AFM
results.”
This next-generation AFM is configurable to address a wide
variety of research fields. It supports a full range of measurement
techniques including popular options such as blueDrive photothermal
excitation and environmental control accessories.
Join Asylum Research for an e-seminar “Quadrature Phase
Differential Interferometry (QPDI) Technology in the Asylum
Research Vero AFM” on December 6 at 8am PT. To register, visit
