How to use standard AFM Probes on Park AFM Systems
AFM cantilevers of the 19 series combine the high frequency and low force constant, which makes them suitable for imaging soft and fragile surfaces at a relatively high speed in Tapping mode. They are compatible with Bruker ScanAsyst® PeakForce Tapping™*. These AFM cantilevers are also used for Lateral force microscopy LFM due to their high sensitivity to the lateral forces.
This AFM probe features alignment grooves on the back side of the holder chip.
