NCHR
Non-contact / Tapping™ mode -
High resonance frequency - Reflex coating

NanoWorld® Pointprobe® NCH probes are designed for non-contact or tapping mode imaging. This AFM probe type combines high operation stability with outstanding sensitivity and fast scanning ability.
All SPM and AFM probes of the Pointprobe® series are made from monolithic silicon which is highly doped silicon to dissipate static charge. They are chemically inert and offer a high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity. The AFM tip is shaped like a polygon based pyramid with a typical height of 10 - 15 µm.
Additionally, this AFM probe offers typical AFM tip radius of curvature of less than 8 nm.
For applications requiring lower resonance frequencies or an AFM cantilever length exceeding 125 µm we recommend our Pointprobe® type NCLR.
