PPP-CONTSC

The PointProbe^®Plus (PPP) combines high application versatility and compatibility with most commercial SPMs. The typical AFM tip radius of less than 7 nm and the minimized variation in AFM tip shape provide reproducible images and enhanced resolution.

The NANOSENSORS^™ PPP-CONTSC is an alternative AFM cantilever type for contact mode applications. The length of AFM cantilever is reduced with respect to the preferred contact mode type enabling easier exchange with non-contact mode AFM probes for some AFM instruments. Additionally, this AFM probe type allows the application for lateral or friction force mode.

The AFM probe offers unique features:

• excellent AFM tip radius of curvature
• highly doped silicon to dissipate static charge
• high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity
• precise alignment of the AFM cantilever position (within +/-2µm) when used with the Alignment Chip
• compatible with PointProbe^® Plus XY-Alignment Series

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