Dr. Roland Goschke, Managing Director of Atomic Force F&E GmbH, commented: "We are happy to welcome Rafaël to Atomic Force. He is an important addition to our team and will be the primary contact for our growing base of French customers. They will enjoy his broad technical expertise, fast reaction times and competent support in all questions about AFM technology. Working from his office near Paris, he will be able to easily travel to most locations in France for on-site support. He has already impressed us with his knowledge and we are sure that this addition will strengthen Atomic Force's and Asylum Research's position in the French market."

Mr. Barbattini added, "Asylum Research is widely recognized for providing the best applications and product support in the AFM industry. Their MFP-3D™ and Cypher™ are also the best and most reliable AFMs available and my new position is a great opportunity for me to help their customers produce even better results and make more new discoveries. After many years experience in the AFM world I am really pleased to be reunited with some of the best names in the industry, and to be working with and increasing the dissemination of what is clearly the best AFM technology."

Asylum Research is the technology leader in atomic force and scanning probe microscopy (AFM/SPM) for both materials and bioscience applications. Founded in 1999, we are an employee owned company dedicated to innovative instrumentation for nanoscience and nanotechnology, with over 250 years combined AFM/SPM experience among our staff. Our instruments are used for a variety of nanoscience applications in material science, physics, polymers, chemistry, biomaterials, and bioscience, including single molecule mechanical experiments on DNA, protein unfolding and polymer elasticity, as well as force measurements for biomaterials, chemical sensing, polymers, colloidal forces, adhesion, and more. Asylum’s product line offers imaging and measurement capabilities for a wide range of samples, including advanced techniques such as electrical characterization (CAFM, KFM, EFM), high voltage piezoresponse force microscopy (PFM), thermal analysis, quantitative nanoindenting, and a wide range of environmental accessories and application-ready modules.

Asylum’s MFP-3D set the standard for AFM technology, with unprecedented precision and flexibility. The MFP-3D is the first AFM with true independent piezo positioning in all three axes, combined with low noise closed-loop feedback sensor technology. The MFP-3D offers both top and bottom sample viewing and easy integration with most commercially-available inverted optical microscopes.

Asylum’s new Cypher AFM is the world’s first new small sample AFM/SPM in over a decade, and sets the new standard as the world’s highest resolution AFM. Cypher provides low-drift closed loop atomic resolution for the most accurate images and measurements possible today, >20X faster AC imaging with small cantilevers, Spot-On™ automated laser and photodetector alignment for easy setup, integrated thermal, acoustic and vibration control, and broad support for all major AFM/SPM scanning modes and capabilities.

Asylum Research offers the lowest cost of ownership of any AFM company. Ask us about our industry-best 2-year warranty, our legendary product and applications support, and our exclusive 6-month money-back satisfaction guarantee. We are dedicated to providing the most technically advanced AFMs for researchers who want to take their experiments to the next level. Asylum Research also distributes third party cantilevers from Olympus, Nanoworld/Nanosensors, and our own MFM and iDrive™ tips.
