SELF-SENSING AFM PROBE TECHNOLOGY

Introduction

Self-sensing probes integrate the deflection sensor into the cantilever, simplifying setup and enabling measurements inside instruments with limited optical access.

■ Built-in deflection sensing

■ Seamless integration into challenging environments

■ No laser alignment 

■ Minimal downtime during probe changes.

​

DURABILITY

Hardened probes that hold their performance

​Wear-resistant probes maintain their electrical and mechanical characteristics scan after scan. 

■ Fewer probe changes

■ Reliable performance

■ Reduced operating costs

​

CONDUCTIVITY

Confidence-inspiring consistency 

A proprietary probe formation process delivers consistently high electrical conductivity, so the signal you record comes from your sample, not from tip variability.

■ Consistent, high electrical conductivity

■ Repeatable performance

■ Reliable data

​

CHARGE DISSIPATION

Enhance your electron microscope

Non-conductive AFM probes can accumulate charge when operated in electron beam environments, disturbing the tip-sample interaction.  Conductive probes provide a path for that charge to dissipate, delivering stable and accurate measurements.

■ Minimized probe-sample charging

■ Fewer artifacts, less drift, more usable data

■ Specially designed for electron beam applications
