 "Whisker Type" probes for noncontact/semicontact modes with whisker inclination angle 10 degrees.
NSC05_10°
NSC05_10° - "Whisker Type" probes for noncontact/semicontact modes with inclination angle 10 degrees.

Near Vertical Structure Measurements
|
- "Whisker Type" tips go deeper inside narrow gaps when the standard cantilevers fail to measure the bottom and to control near vertical sidewalls.
Fig. a: SPM image obtained by "Whisker type" tip.
Fig. b: SPM image obtained by usual silicon cantilever.
- "Whisker" material is hydrophobic, hard and mechanically stable.
- Because each different model SPM cantilever holder varies in its angle of inclination, the angle at which it holds the tip, we offer programmable control of the "Whisker Type" tip to make the tip truly perpendicular to the surface you are measuring.
- Any angle of inclination "a" you need to match your SPM holder specification can be produced. Just specify the angle of inclination you want (Fig. c).
Free calibrated SEM photo for each "Whisker Type" tip to let you know the real shape of the tip.
