Our Arrow™ probes are designed for easy tip positioning and high resolution imaging. They fit to all well-known commercial SPMs (Scanning Probe Microscopes). The AFM probe consists of a support chip with a cantilever which has a tetrahedral tip at its triangular free end.
The probe is entirely made of monolithic, highly doped silicon.
The unique Arrow™ shape of the cantilever allows easy positioning of the tip on the area of interest.
Furthermore the Arrow™ series also includes a range of tipless cantilevers and cantilever arrays.
