The Nanosurf AFM Probes are calibrated cantilevers for contact, tapping, MFM, KPFM, and conductive AFM modes, available in silicon, silicon nitride, and coated variants to match imaging conditions across Nanosurf AFM platforms.
Nanosurf AFM Probes are cantilever tips matched to Nanosurf AFM platforms (DriveAFM, FlexAFM, CoreAFM, NaioAFM) for specific imaging modes and sample types.
Contact mode probes:
– Silicon nitride cantilevers: spring constant 0.06-0.5 N/m; tip radius <10 nm; for soft biological samples
- Silicon cantilevers: spring constant 1-5 N/m; for hard material contact imaging and force spectroscopy
- Diamond-coated: wear-resistant; for repeated contact on hard surfaces (ceramics, metals)
AM-AFM (tapping) probes:
- Standard silicon: resonance 75-300 kHz; spring constant 2-40 N/m; universal tapping probe
- Supersharp: tip radius <2 nm; for high-resolution polymer and thin film imaging
- Long-range: resonance 50-75 kHz; softer spring constant; for biological tapping in liquid
Electrical mode probes:
- Conductive (PtIr or Cr/Au coated): for C-AFM, KPFM, EFM; tip radius 20-30 nm coated
- MFM probes: CoCr magnetic coating; lift height 50-200 nm; hard disk, magnetic nanoparticle imaging
- PFM probes: stiff silicon with PtIr coating; for ferroelectric domain writing and imaging
Calibration:
- Certified spring constant: traceable to national metrology standards
- Tip radius certified by SEM: contact and tapping probes
- Resonance frequency measured and supplied on data sheet
