The
MFP-3D-BIO
provides the highest sensitivity and most accurate images and measurements possible
on an inverted optical platform. The NPS™ closed loop nanopositioning sensors
on all three axes ensure distortion-free images on samples as small as proteins
and as large as cells - in both air and liquid. The
MFP-3D
measures the cantilever deflection to better than 20pm (8pm typical) without artifacts,
making the
MFP-3D
ideal for force measurements such as unfolding single molecules or probing cell
mechanics.
The MFP-3D-BIO
sets the industry standard for combining optical and atomic force microscopies
in a single integrated tool specifically designed for biologists. Our team of
biologists and optical engineers have optimized the MFP-3D
for use with the leading inverted optical microscopes to ensure that you get
the maximum benefit and productivity from the combination of these powerful
techniques. High numerical aperture, water immersion, and TIRF objectives are
all accommodated. No other AFM can match the MFP-3D's
performance for optical integration, high resolution imaging, quantitative force
measurements, and environmental controls. All of the following optical microscopy
techniques are supported:
- Brightfield
- Phase Contrast
- Epifluorescence
- Confocal Laser Scanning
- TIRF
- FRET
- FCS
- FRAP
- Ion Indicators (e.g. Ca2+ response)
And the MFP-3D's
exclusive X-Y scanned-sample design is essential and enabling for:
- Apertureless Near-field Microscopy (ANSOM)
- Raman and Tip-enhanced Raman Spectroscopy
- Tip-enhanced Fluorescence
- Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging (FLIM)
Asylum
has made our full capability system easy to learn and use for novices while
providing advanced functionality for the most experienced users. Don't
compromise your research by choosing an "easy to use" system with
limited capabilities. Choose the MFP-3D-BIO
for both full capability and ease of use.
