NSC18/AL BS

Detector aluminum coating
Resonance Frequency (F): 75 kHz Spring Constant (K): 2.8 N/m

Cantilevers of the 17 series with low spring constant are used mostly in contact mode AFM. It is possible to adjust the scanning parameters to minimize the tip-sample force. Imaging in tapping mode gives the true topography of soft samples.

  • Typical probe tip radius of uncoated tip: 8nm
  • Full tip cone angle: 40°
  • Total tip height: 12 - 18 µm
  • Probe materialn-type: Silicon
  • Probe bulk resistivity: 0.01 - 0.025 Ohm*cm
  • Detector coating: Aluminum
