Aside from performing cutting edge research in nanotechnology, the Asylum Research MFP-3D Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) will be in the spotlight on the CBS hit television show CSI: Miami.

The AFM will be featured in the episode 619 "Rock and a Hard Place" scheduled to air May 5, 2008. "I was really surprised when CSI: Miami producers called me to use our MFP-3D AFM," said Terry Mehr, Director of Marketing. "Only days earlier, I had received an email from our VP of Asia Pacific telling me about a customer that was interested in doing forensics on our AFM and how great it would be to have our AFM on CSI. Then lo and behold, I get a call from the producers asking to use the equipment. It's exciting to have our AFM featured in the episode."
While details of the CSI: Miami episode cannot be revealed, the MFP-3D AFM will be used as the forensic instrument of choice to procure information about a sample.
