ARROW-TL8

Product Description

NanoWorld® Arrow™ TL8 probes are tipless AFM cantilevers for special applications. They can for example be used for attaching spheres and other objects to the free end of the AFM cantilever, or for functionalizing and sensing applications.

All SPM and AFM probes of the Arrow™ series are made from monolithic silicon which is highly doped to dissipate static charge and are chemically inert. The TL8 probes feature eight rectangular AFM cantilevers having a triangular free end. The AFM cantilevers have a pitch of 250 µm.

The Arrow™ TL8 probes are optionally available with a sample facing side gold coating (Arrow™ TL8Au).

Tip shape: Tipless

Coating: none
