Application

General purpose probes are designed for routine AFM measurements. Lateral resolution down to 5 nm is attainable for scan size below 1 μm when using the probes.

Probes

GP probe is a single-crystal Silicon probe with tertahedral tip. The tip is inclined and located at the very end of the cantilever for easier positioning into the area of interest using video camera. NSC/CSC probe tips have conical shape. There is a wide range of available cantilever shapes and special coatings for tip and cantilever backside.

Typical tip radius
10 nm

Tip aspect ratio
more than 3:1(typical 4:1)

Tip height
15±2.5 μm
