PointProbe® Plus SEIKO microscopes - Non-Contact /Tapping Mode High Force Constant
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.
For owners of a Seiko Instruments microscope using the non-contact mode we recommend NANOSENSORS™ PPP-SEIH AFM probes (Seiko Instruments / high force constant).
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
- 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.
