NANOSENSORS™ PPP-NCR AFM probes are especially designed with the same mechanical properties as the Olympus** AC160 AFM probe for non-contact mode or tapping mode AFM (also known as: attractive or dynamic mode).This AFM probe combines high operation stability with outstanding sensitivity.

The reflective coating is an approximately 30 nm thick aluminum coating on the detector side of the AFM cantilever which enhances the reflectivity of the laser beam by a factor of about 2.5. Furthermore it prevents light from interfering within the AFM cantilever. As the coating is nearly stress-free the bending of the AFM cantilever due to stress is less than 2 degrees.
