HQ:CSC17/Al BS
Contact Mode AFM Probe
AFM probes of the HQ:CSC17 series have AFM cantilevers with low force constants that offer high sensitivity in contact mode AFM. These AFM probes are also used for Lateral Force Microscopy.
The HQ AFM probes offer high consistency of the AFM tip radius, the AFM cantilever reflectivity and the quality factor.
The aluminum reflective coating enhances the laser reflectivity of the AFM cantilever by approximately 2.5 times. For operation in liquids we recommend using the HQ:CSC17/Cr-Au BS with a reflective gold coating.
