Spherical Tip on Cantilevers - COLLOIDAL Probes

C olloidal Probe Atomic Force Microscopy requires a tip of known shape to be mounted cleanly on a consistently reproducible cantilever. These probes are known as "Colloidal Probes" and are used to study colloidal interactions between two surfaces and to quantify the interactive properties. The tip is formed using a spherical, colloidal particle attached to a tipless cantilever.

Manufacturing: Attach the spheres to the tipless cantilever using high precision 6 axis micro manipulators with 1,000X optics

Coating Options:

  • Reflex Side: A (Al), G (gold)
  • Tip Side : G (gold)
