![]()
AFM Probe Specifications:
The 160AC-SG AFMM probes with sharp diamond-like spikes are designed for high resolution tapping mode AFM imaging.
The terahedral AFM tip is located precisely at the free end of the AFM cantilever. This allows the AFM tip to be positioned accurately over the area of interest on the sample surface.
The gold coating ensures high and stable laser reflectivity in air, vacuum and liquids. Please note that while the tetrahedral AFM tip and the AFM tip side of the AFM cantilever are gold coated, the diamond-like spike remains uncoated.

Reflective Gold
The 240AC-SG AFM probes with sharp diamond-like spikes are designed for high resolution tapping mode AFM imaging of soft samples.
The terahedral AFM tip is located precisely at the free end of the AFM cantilever. This allows the AFM tip to be positioned accurately over the area of interest on the sample surface.
The gold coating ensures high and stable laser reflectivity in air, vacuum and liquids. Please note that while the tetrahedral AFM tip and the AFM tip side of the AFM cantilever are gold coated, the diamond-like spike remains uncoated.

OPUS AFM Probes: Optimized Positioning Upon Sample
Olympus replacement AFM probes
In September 2022 Olympus®* Corp. decided to discontinue all their Olympus®* AFM probes. OPUS AFM tips are identical to Olympus®* AFM tips in form, fit and function.
