HQ:NSC36/Hard/Al BS
AFM Probe with 3 Different Long Scanning, DLC Hardened Soft Tapping Mode AFM Cantilevers
AFM probes of the HQ:NSC36 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.
A 20 nm wear-resistant DLC coating is applied to the tip side of the AFM cantilevers. The coating is chemically inert and more hydrophobic than silicon with a natural oxide layer. The aluminum reflective coating enhances the laser reflectivity of the AFM cantilevers by approximately 2.5 times.
