HQ:NSC15/Hard/Al BS

Long Scanning, DLC Hardened Tapping Mode AFM Probe


AFM probes of the HQ:NSC15 series are generally used in tapping mode for imaging hard samples when high topographic and phase contrast are necessary. These AFM probes are also suitable for non-contact mode.

The HQ AFM probes offer high consistency of the AFM tip radius, the AFM cantilever reflectivity and the quality factor.

A 20 nm wear-resistant DLC coating is applied to the tip side of the AFM cantilever. The coating is chemically inert and more hydrophobic than silicon with a natural oxide layer. The aluminum reflective coating enhances the laser reflectivity of the AFM cantilever by approximately 2.5 times.
