Type: NCH
Non-contact / Tapping™ mode - High resonance frequency
NanoWorld Pointprobe® NCH probes are designed for non-contact or tapping™ mode imaging. This probe type combines high operation stability with outstanding sensitivity and fast scanning ability. All probes of the Pointprobe® series are made from monolithic silicon which is highly doped to dissipate static charge. They are chemically inert and offer a high mechanical Q-factor for high sensitivity. The tip is shaped like a polygon based pyramid with a height of 10-15 µm.

Additionally this probe offers typical tip radius of curvature of less than 8 nm.

* Typical values

For applications requiring lower resonance frequencies or a cantilever length exceeding 125 µm
we recommend our Pointprobe® type NCL.
