Silicon AFM Probes All-in-One / All-In-One-AL

The All-In-One Series probes offer four cantilevers with different geometry for all topography measurement modes: contact mode, force modulation, soft tapping and tapping mode. The resonance frequencies and force constants are similar to the ones of the well-established models Contact, Multi75, Tap150 and Tap300 or ContAL, Multi75AL, Tap150AL and Tap300AL for the model with Aluminum Reflex coating.

Available with tip and without tip (tipless).

The long cantilevers A for contact mode and B for force modulation are located at one end of the chip, while the short cantilevers C for soft tapping and D for tapping mode are located at the opposite end. The short cantilever end is marked by a trapezoidal pattern visible with bare eyes.

 

The AFM tip is micromachined, monolithic Silicon probe, exhibiting excellent uniformity and a sharp tip radius. The consistent tip radius of less than 10 nm gives good resolution and reproducibility. This probe uses an "on scan angle" symmetric tip to provide a more symmetric representation of features over 200 nm. The All-in-One probes offer four cantilevers with different geometry for all topography measurement modes: contact mode, force modulation, soft tapping and tapping mode. The resonance frequencies and force constants are similar to the ones of the well-established models Contact, Multi75, Tap150 and Tap300. The long cantilevers A for contact mode and B for force modulation are located at one end of the chip while the short cantilevers C for soft tapping and D for tapping mode are located at the opposite end. The short cantilever end is marked by a trapezoidal pattern visible with bare eyes. The AFM Holder Chip fits most commercial AFMs as it is industry standard size. It is compatible with DI/Veeco AFMs, TM Microscopes, JEOL, Molecular Imaging, and other commercial atomic force microscopes (AFMs).
