0.01 - 0.025 Ohm·cmThe HQ:CSC and HQ:XSC AFM tips have trihedral shape with a full cone angle of 40° and even smaller at the last 200nm of the AFM tip apex. The contact mode AFM probes feature AFM cantilevers with low stiffness and force constants <0.4N/m. They offer high sensitivity in contact mode AFM. These AFM probes are also used for Lateral Force Microscopy.
The aluminum reflective coating enhances the laser reflectivity of the AFM cantilever by approximately 2.5 times.
There is a range of available AFM cantilever coatings for tip side and back side. Please check the other catalog categories for coated versions of the contact mode AFM probes.
The highly successful HQ series now extends over all AFM probe series with 1, 3 and 4 AFM cantilevers.
