Cantilever & tip details

  • Tilted tip design
    Compensates for the AFM head’s mounting angle, ensuring accurate data on diverse sample surfaces.
  • Tip height >30 µm
    Reduces cantilever cross talk in electrical modes
  • Half-cone angle < 10° over the last 10 µm
    Minimizes tip-sample convolution, ensuring more accurate morphological measurements.
  • Conductive Tip
    Conductive platinum layer all faces of the tip, typical apex radius is 25nm

 

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.
