Model >>> 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.

Silicon Nitride AFM Probes

Model >>> SiNi AFM Probes

Silicon Nitride Holder Chip

silicon nitride holder chip for afm

The Silicon Nitride Holder Chip fits most commercial AFMs as it is industry standard size. It is compatible with VEECO AFMs, TM Microscopes, JEOL, Molecular Imaging and other commercial AFMs.

Silicon Nitride Cantilever

silicon nitride cantilever

SiN (Si3N4) probes feature 4 cantilevers per chip. The cantilever's low force constants make these probes ideal for very soft contact mode imaging.

Silicon Nitride Tip

silicon nitride afm tip

The oxide-sharpened wedge tip has two peaks per tip, a "twin tip". The protrusion at the cantilever's end is used for imaging, since the cantilever is mounted at some angle (e.g. 13 deg.) which keeps only one tip interacting with the surface if the sample is sufficiently flat. (Valleys are not greater than 400nm deep).
