Sharp CarbonNanoTip On Soft SiliconNitride Cantilever

Ordercode: biotool_PNP-TR_10

The nanotools EBD probe biotool is specifically designed for biological applications. It is extremly appropriate for small features and compatible with both air and liquids. With this
probe you get true dimensions of fine structures and clear sidewall information.

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.
