OPUS® Standard Tapping Mode AFM Cantilever without Coating
![]()
AFM Probe Specifications:
AFM probes of the 160AC series are designed for standard tapping mode AFM imaging in air or vacuum.
The tetrahedral 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 uncoated AFM probe offers a sharp AFM tip apex, chemical inertness and a high AFM cantilever Quality factor.
