Type: LFM
Lateral force microscopy
NanoWorld Pointprobe® LFM probes are designed for lateral or friction force microscopy. This probe type is optimised for high sensitivity to lateral or friction forces due to an extremely soft, thin cantilever.
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.
