Product DescriptionTechnical Data
Delivery & Returns
The High Resolution probes suffer less contamination than silicon probes and are capable of obtaining many high-resolution scans, although they do require special care in use. Due to the small tip curvature radius, the tip-sample attraction force is minimized.
Advantages of High Resolution probes are noticeable when scanning small areas (<250nm) and flat samples (Ra <20nm). On larger images, the resolution is similar to that of General Purpose probes.
Key Features
- Spike radius - <1nm
- Spike height - 100-200nm
- Spike material - diamond-like
- Au overall coating - 30nm
- Cr overall sublayer - 20nm

High Resolution Silicon Probes are packaged in special vacuum-sealed ESD shielding bags. While the probes remain in the closed ESD protective bag, there is no risk of ESD damage.
Before opening the ESD bag in an ESD-protected area please ensure that you are grounded (e.g. with a static dissipative wrist strap or ESD-protective footwear) and the gel box is on ground potential (e.g. by using a grounded pad).
Gel box
Before opening the gel box please ensure that the delivered probes are consistent with your order and there is no sign of transportation damage (e.g. loose AFM probes).
