Non-Vibrating AFM Probe

SHOCONA

Applied NanoStructures' SHOCONA probes are silicon probes designed for contact mode applications. These probes feature shorter cantilevers, which provide better sensitivity without compromising on spring constant requirements. Our SHOCONA probes have Aluminum coating on the reflex side to increase laser signal quality.
