Carbon Dating AFM Tip Style

Have you every wondered how carbon dating in the AFM tip world works?

Cartoon of a nanotools HDC AFM tip and a NanoWorld CDT AFM tip meeting for cheese fondue and complaining how carbonized and peaky they are because they have been under a lot of pressure
Our take on carbon dating in the AFM tip world. Enjoy and have a great 1st of April!

Actin filaments on Mica with APTES

Courtesy of Prof. Noriyuki Kodera, nanoLSI, Kanazawa University, Japan we could upload two new images and a very nice High Speed Atomic Force Microscopy (HS-AFM) video of Actin filaments on Mica with APTES to the image gallery and the video gallery on https://www.highspeedscanning.com/.

NanoWorld USC-F1.2-k0.15 Ultra-Short AFM cantilevers [C = 0.15 N/m; fo = 1200 kHz] were used for the high speed imaging.

NanoWorld USC-F1.2-k0.15 AFM probes from the Ultra-Short Cantilever (USC) series were used for the High Speed Atomic Force Microscopy

The HighSpeedScanning webpage is dedicated to presenting information about ultra high frequency AFM probe solutions for High Speed AFM ranging from already commercialized AFM probes such as the ArrowTM UHF and NanoWorld Ultra-Short Cantilever (USC) series to AFM probes that are still under development.

Additionally to the High-Speed AFM images and videos researchers worldwide kindly have provided us with so that we can share them with the whole High Speed AFM community you will also find  a list of links and references dedicated to High-Speed AFM on https://www.highspeedscanning.com/high-speed-scanning.html 

We are aware that these lists are far from complete and we are constantly working on keepting them up to date.  If your research institute or company is working with High Speed AFM (HS-AFM) using our AFM probes or if you have published articles with images that were achieved with our High Speed AFM probes annd you find that are missing from our list then please let us know via email: info@highspeedscanning.com if you would like us to add them to the list of references .
