Cantilever & tip details

LprobeSoft0.5_Au-Si-30
  • Tilted tip design
    Compensates for the AFM head’s mounting angle, ensuring accurate data on diverse sample surfaces.
  • Tip height >30 µm
    Enables imaging of deeper or difficult-to-access sample regions.
  • Half-cone angle < 12° over the last 10 µm 
    Minimizes tip-sample convolution, ensuring more accurate morphological measurements.
  • Guaranteed tip radius < 10 nm
    Provides reliable resolution for advanced AFM applications.

Special packaging

Spectroscopy and images with SNOM tips that have been packaged in standard AFM Gel-Pak boxes can lead to artifacts in the optical response. This is due to contamination of the tip by a few molecules of the gel. Vmicro has developed a back-end process with special decontamination and storage in a metal box. You can select this feature as an option when selecting your reference.
