Reflex Coating (for Pointprobe® and Arrow Silicon AFM Probes)
30 nm thick Aluminum coating on the backside
enhances reflectance of the laser beam by a factor of 2.5
prevents light from interfering within the cantilever
strongly recommended for thin cantilevers if the coating is compatible with the application
Hard Magnetic Coating (for Pointprobe® AFM Probes)
40 nm thick Cobalt alloy coating on the tip-side
permanent magnetization of the tip
tip needs to be magnetized by means of an external strong magnet
Soft magnetic samples may be influenced by the tip
Soft Magnetic Coating (for Pointprobe® AFM Probes)
Soft magnetic coating on the tip-side
coercitivity of app. 0.75 Oe
remancence magnetization of app. 225 emu/cm3
Diamond Coating (for Pointprobe® AFM Probes)
100 nm thick coating of polycrystalline diamond on the tip-side
unsurpassed hardness of the tip
PtIr5 Coating (for Pointprobe® AFM Probes and for some Arrow™ Probes, others on request)
25nm thick double layer of chromium and platinum iridium5
layer on doth sides of the product
the layer enhances the conductivity and allows electrical contact
detector side coating enhances the reflectance of the laser beam by a factor of 2
the layer is stress compensated and wear resistant
bending due to stress is less than 2°
Gold Coating (for Pointprobe® AFM Probes on request)
70nm thick chromium/gold coating on the backside of the cantilever
70nm thick chromium/gold coating on both sides of the probe
Chromium/Titanium/Gold Coating (for Hybrid-Nitride™ AFM Probes)
70 nm thick chromium/titanium/gold coating on the backside (on both sides for tipless version available)
enhances reflectance of the laser beam
Titanium/Gold Coating (for Arrow™ Tipless Cantilevers)
70 nm titanium / 30 nm gold coating on the sample facing side
enhances reflectance of the laser beam
