PPP-EFM datasheet
AFM Probe Type: PPP-EFM
Product Description:
The PPP-EFM probe is offered for electrostatic force microscopy. An overall metallic coating (PtIr5) on both sides of the cantilever increasing the electrical conductivity of the tip. The force constant of this type is specially tailored for the electrostatic force microscopy yielding very high force sensitivity while simultaneously enabling tapping mode and lift mode operation.
The probe offers unique features:
- metallic conductivity of the tip
- high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity
- precise alignment of the cantilever position (within +/- 2 µm) in conjunction with the usage
of the alignment chip
- compatible with PointProbe® Plus XY-Alignment Series
Please note:
- Wear at the tip can occur if operating in contact-, friction- or force modulation mode.
- Although this is possible, it is not recommended to use PtIr5 coated tips for electrical contacting
in applications where it is necessary to conduct high current. The very thin layer of PtIr5 is unable to
support much current.
This product features alignment grooves on the backside of the holder chip.
