HQ:XSC11/Al BS
AFM Probe with 4 Different Cantilevers for Various Applications
AFM probes of the HQ:XSC11 series have four different AFM cantilevers, two on each 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:NSC36/Cr-Au BS with a reflective gold coating.
