PtSi-CONT

NANOSENSORS PtSi-CONT are designed for contact mode (repulsive mode) AFM imaging. Furthermore this probe can be used for force-distance spectroscopy or pulsed force mode (PFM). The CONT type is optimized for high sensitivity due a low force constant. For applications that require a wear resistant and electrically conductive AFM tip we recommend this type. NANOSENSORS PtSi-CONT are suitable for C-AFM, Tunneling AFM (TUNA) and Scanning Capacitance Microscopy (SCM).

This AFM probe offers unique features:

• platinum silicide coating with excellent conductivity and good wear-out behaviour
• chemically inert
• high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity

This AFM probe features alignment grooves on the back side of the holder chip.
