HQ:NSC15/Hard/Al BS

Product Description:

Cantilevers of the 15 series are generally used in tapping mode for imaging hard samples, when the high topographic and phase contrast are necessary. The 15 series is also good for non-contact mode.

A wear-resistant coating with thickness 20 nm is applied to the tipside of the cantilever. The coating is chemically inert and more hydrophobic than Si with natural oxide layer.

Application Modes:

• Hardened / Enhanced Wear Resistance AFM Probes
• Nanoindentation and Lithography AFM Probes
• Hardened / Enhanced Wear Resistance Tapping AFM Probes
