PPP-ZEIHR
PointProbe® Plus ZEISS Veritekt Microscopes - Non-Contact /Tapping Mode High Force Constant - Reflex Coating
The new PointProbe® Plus (PPP) combines the well-known features of the proven PointProbe® series such as high application versatility and compatibility with most commercial SPMs with a further reduced and more reproducible tip radius as well as a more defined tip shape. The typical tip radius of less than 7 nm and the minimized variation in tip shape provide more reproducible images and enhanced resolution.
For owners of the ZEISS Veritekt microscope using the step mode (non-contact mode) we recommend NANOSENSORS™ PPP-ZEIHR AFM tips (Zeiss / high force constant). Compared with the PPP-NCH and PPP-NCL AFM probes the force constant is reduced and the resonance frequency is lower.

- The probe offers unique features:
- - guaranteed tip radius of curvature < 10 nm
- - highly doped to dissipate static charge
- - Al coating on detector side of cantilever
- - high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity
- - alignment grooves on backside of silicon holder chip
- - precise alignment of the cantilever position (within +/- 2 µm) in conjunction with the usage
of the alignment chip - - compatible with PointProbe® Plus XY-Alignment Series
The reflex coating is an approximately 30 nm thick aluminum coating on the detector side of the cantilever which enhances the reflectivity of the laser beam by a factor of about 2.5. Furthermore it prevents light from interfering within the cantilever. The virtually stress-free coating is bending the cantilever less than 2% of the cantilever length.
