Reflex Coating

• 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

• 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

• Soft magnetic coating on the tip-side
• coercitivity of app. 0.75 Oe
• remancence magnetization of app. 225 emu/cm³

Diamond Coating

• 100 nm thick coating of polycrystalline diamond on the tip-side
• unsurpassed hardness of the tip

PtIr5 Coating

• 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

• 70nm thick chromium/gold coating on the backside of the cantilever
• 70nm thick chromium/gold coating on both sides of the probe
