For optimal performance with our AFM systems please request a quote from Park Systems. Mounted cantilevers are additionally tested. All probes that are not listed here from Adama Innovations, Applied Nano Structures, Inc, BudgetSensors, MikroMasch, Nanosensors™, Nanotools GmbH, Nanoworld AG, NuNano, Olympus Corp., are possible to order from our probe store. Probes from other manufacturers also can be possible to order upon request for quotation. The performance of probes ordered from other sources are not guaranteed.

Probe Force Constant (N/m) Frequency (kHz ) Manufacture Short Description Quote
PPP-CONTSCR 0.2 25 Nanosensors ▪ Contact cantilever
▪ Backside reflex coating (Al)
Request for Quote

The NANOSENSORS™ PPP-CONTSCR is an alternative cantilever type for contact mode applications. The length of cantilever is reduced with respect to the preferred contact mode type enabling easier exchange with non-contact mode probes for some AFM instruments. Additionally, this probe type allows the application for lateral or friction force mode.
