DANGER: One tiny amount of static electricity while you are handling these probes will destroy the tip!

We highly recommend that you utilize an ESD station and if you do not already have one, we have a mobile ESD station for only £ ( EUR).
Considering the costs of these probes, this is a very wise investment.

AFM Probe type:

AR5-NCH

Manufacturer: NANOSENSORS
Product Description:

NANOSENSORS™ AR5-NCH AFM tips are designed for non-contact mode or tapping mode AFM. This probe type combines high operation stability with outstanding sensitivity and fast scanning ability.

For measurements on samples with sidewall angles approaching 90° NANOSENSORS™ produces specially tailored tips. These tips are FIB (Focused Ion Beam) milled to achieve a high aspect ratio portion better than 5:1 at the end of the common silicon tip. This subtractive method of producing the high aspect ratio needle offers the advantage of high lateral stiffness and rigidity of the tip.

The probe offers unique features:

  • length of the high aspect ratio portion of the tip > 2 µm
  • typical aspect ratio at 2 µm in the order of 7:1 (when viewed from side as well as along cantilever axis)
  • excellent tip radius of curvature
  • monolithic tip
  • highly doped silicon to dissipate static charge
  • high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity
