CP-qp-CONT-BSG

Product Description:

This colloidal probe combines the well-known features of the proven qp-CONT probes series such as high application versatility and compatibility with most commercial SPMs with a reproducible sphere radius instead of a sharp tip.

qp-CONT AFM probes are designed for contact mode AFM imaging in air or for applications in liquid environments with a reduced thermal drift. The CONT type is also optimized for high sensitivity due to a low force constant.

The so called "Colloidal Probe Technique", where single colloids are attached with polymer glue to AFM cantilevers for force measurements, offers possibilities for a better understanding of fundamental interactions in a variety of fields. Examples are adhesion phenomena, particle-surface-interactions, mechanical properties, suspensions, hydrodynamics and boundary slip - to name just some out of an increasing number of applications.

The probe offers unique features:

• sphere material: borosilicate glass
• excellent ball diameter of 0 = 2.5 µm, A = 5 µm, B = 10 µm or C = 20 µm (all +/- 10%)
  (Due to different masses the resonance frequency can differ.)
  Please choose 0, A, B or C when ordering!
