Tipless - Non-Contact/Tapping Mode - High Resonance Frequency

NANOSENSORS™ TL-NCH cantilevers are designed for special applications where no AFM tip at the AFM cantilever is needed.

The AFM probe offers unique features:

  • no AFM tip
  • highly doped silicon to dissipate static charge
  • chemically inert
  • high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity
This AFM probe features alignment grooves on the back side of the holder chip. These grooves fit to the NANOSENSORS Alignment Chip.
