Product Description

Optimized positioning through maximized AFM tip visibility

NanoWorld® Arrow™ FM probes are designed for Force Modulation Mode imaging. The Force Constant of the FM type fills the gap between Contact and Non-Contact AFM probes. Furthermore Non-Contact / TappingMode™ imaging is possible with this AFM probe.

All SPM and AFM probes of the Arrow™ series are made from monolithic silicon which is highly doped to dissipate static charge. They are chemically inert and offer a high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity. These AFM probes feature a rectangular AFM cantilever with a triangular free end and a tetrahedral AFM tip with a typical height of 10 - 15 µm.

Additionally, this AFM probe offers an AFM tip radius of curvature of less than 10 nm.

The unique Arrow™ shape with the AFM tip position at the very end of the AFM cantilever allows easy positioning of the AFM tip on the area of interest.

A trapezoidal cross section of the AFM cantilever and therefore 30% wider (e.g. NCH) AFM cantilever detector side result in easier and faster laser adjustment. Additionally, because there is simply more space to place and reflect the laser beam, a higher SUM signal is reached.

Tip shape: Arrow

Coating: none
