NANOSENSORS™ PointProbe® Plus AFM Probes

PointProbe® Plus Force Modulation Mode - Au coating (Detector side)

The PointProbe® Plus (PPP) combines high application versatility and compatibility with most commercial SPMs. The typical AFM tip radius of less than 7 nm and the minimized variation in AFM tip shape provide reproducible images and enhanced resolution.

NANOSENSORS™ PPP-FMAuD is offered for force modulation microscopy. The force constant of this AFM probe spans the gap between contact and non-contact mode and is specially tailored for the force modulation mode. Furthermore non-contact or tapping mode operation is possible with the FM tip but with reduced operation stability.

The AFM probe offers unique features:

  • guaranteed AFM tip radius of curvature < 10 nm
  • AFM tip height 10 - 15 µm
  • highly doped silicon to dissipate static charge
  • Au coating on detector side of AFM cantilever
  • chemically inert

A metallic layer (Au) is coated on the detector side of the AFM cantilever which enhances the reflectivity of the laser beam by a factor of about 2.5. Furthermore it prevents light from interfering within the AFM cantilever. As the coating is nearly stress-free the bending of the AFM cantilever due to stress is less than 2 degrees.

This AFM probe features alignment grooves on the back side of the holder chip. These grooves fit to the NANOSENSORS Alignment Chip.
