PPP-LFMR

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.

For lateral or friction force microscopy NANOSENSORS™ offers a special type of AFM probe (LFM: lateral force microscopy). This sensor type is optimized for a high sensitivity to lateral or friction forces by an extremely soft, thin AFM cantilever.

The AFM probe offers unique features:

• excellent AFM tip radius of curvature
• highly doped silicon to dissipate static charge
• Al coating on detector side of AFM cantilever
• 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.
