    nanotools CarbonNanoTips are made of high density, amorphous diamondlike carbon (HDC/DLC), using our patented EBD technology. For the cantilever and chip assembly we use single crystal silicon and SiNi among other materials. A wide range of different cantilever designs, beam as well as triangular, force constant and resonance frequencies is available, which fit your AFM system and your application. From contact to MHz resonance, from scanning in air to scanning in liquid.
