Asylum Research Licenses Technology

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
Atomic force microscope manufacturer Asylum Research of Santa Barbara, Calif., has signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Institut Curie of Paris for its patent on magnetic-actuated cantilever technology, covering its use in Europe and the US. The technology enables nondestructive atomic force microscopy of sensitive samples, particularly for imaging bioscience and polymer samples in fluids. It overcomes the limitation of magnetically actuated techniques that require cantilevers with magnetic coating, the quality of which may be unreliable, compromising an experiment with unwanted metal...Read full article

    atomic force microscope
    An atomic force microscope (AFM) is a high-resolution imaging and measurement instrument used in nanotechnology, materials science, and biology. It is a type of scanning probe microscope that operates by scanning a sharp tip (usually a few nanometers in diameter) over the surface of a sample at a very close distance. The tip interacts with the sample's surface forces, providing detailed information about the sample's topography and properties at the nanoscale. Key features and principles of...
