ball - For Applications That Require Hard Contact Between Tip And Sample
Ordercode: view ordercode chart
This SPM probe offers a hemispherical, symmetric and extremely smooth hard tip side coating. This coating, made
of EBD diamond like carbon, features extremely high wear resistance.
The macroscopic tip radius of curvature is precise to +/- 5 nm of the nominal value.

Certified Quality
We do a 100% SEM quality check for every tip (datasheet with precise tip dimensions provided). Every tip is handled in an ESD closed circle, clean room packed and vacuum sealed for shipment.
nanotools is the first and only probe manufacturer being quality certified to DIN EN ISO 9001.
EBD
The high aspect ratio part of the probe is made from High Density, diamond like carbon (HDC/DLC).
The tips show superior properties:
-
high aspect ratio
-
hydrophobic surface properties
-
high stiffness / elastic modulus (8x of that of silicon)
-
low thermal mass
-
abrasion resistance
Our HDC dissipates static charge. This leads to probes offering the extreme durability of diamond together with high resolution imaging capability. Applying our patented EBD technique we ensure a stiff and rigid high aspect ratio probe of superior symmetry and nanometer precision.
