HQ:NSC35/Al BS
AFM Probe with 3 Different Soft Tapping Mode AFM Cantilevers
AFM probes of the HQ:NSC35 series have three different soft tapping mode AFM cantilevers on one side of the holder chip. They can be used in various applications.
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 cantilevers by approximately 2.5 times. For operation in liquids we recommend using the HQ:NSC35/Cr-Au BS with a reflective gold coating.
