The Hi’Res-C 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 Hi’Res-C are noticeable when scanning small areas (< 250 nm) and flat samples (Ra < 20 nm). On larger images, the resolution is similar to that of General Purpose probes.
