As of 2025, Tornado Instruments has announced a beta of the Tornado TP Microscope Driver for Linux with PREEMPT_RT kernel support. This driver bypasses the Windows kernel latency (typically 5-20 µs) by offering deterministic response times of <1 µs—crucial for high-speed video-rate AFM.

Interested users can sign up for the early access program, which includes: dev = tp
