Buy these AFM Probes together with other BudgetSensors AFM probes of your choice in a Budget Combo Box!
Micromachined monolithic silicon AFM probe for high frequency non-contact and tapping mode operation.
The consistent AFM tip radius of less than 10 nm ensures high resolution and good reproducibility. The rotated AFM tip provides more symmetric representation of high sample features.
The AFM probe features a reflective aluminum coating on the back side of the AFM cantilever. For measurements in liquids please use the back side gold coated Tap300GD-G or the overall gold coated Tap300GB-G!
With its industry standard dimensions of 3.4 x 1.6 x 0.3 mm the holder chip fits most commercial AFM systems.
Consistent high quality at a lower price!
This AFM probe features alignment grooves on the back side of the holder chip.

Chocolate is a complex material consisting primarily of a finely crystallized continuous fatty lipid matrix (cocoa butter) in which cocoa powder and sugar particles are dispersed. With time, the lipid crystals tend to merge to form larger crystals on a micron scale, significantly effecting the texture and taste of the chocolate. These images are of an aged commercial dark chocolate sample. The topography of the surface is rendered in 3D, while the coloring is an overlay of the phase image, which highlights the compositional differences (darker patches being the growing cocoa butter crystals).

Topography image of the central area of BudgetSensors height calibration standard HS-100MG with 100 nm nominal step height. The HS-100MG can also be used for X-Y calibration of large area scanners. The array design makes it possible to calibrate your AFM system without the need to rotate and realign the sample in-between X and Y axis calibration.

For accurate imaging of small features the AFM tip radius of curvature must be much smaller than the typical feature size. If, on the contrary, the AFM tip is much larger than the features, the result of the measurement is a reverse image of the AFM tip itself! On the left is a tapping mode scan with a brand new sharp AFM probe that reveals nicely the pyramidal structures on the TipCheck. On the right is a scan of the same TipCheck using a damaged AFM tip. The reverse-imaged triangular cross-section of the AFM tip pyramid, broken-off by improper probe handling, can be clearly recognized.
