NANOSENSORS™ Single / Double Wall Carbon
Nanotube SPM probes are designed for high resolution
measurements of nanometer-sized features.
The surpassing features of the Carbon Nanotubes (CNT)
like smallest tip radii, extreme aspect ratio and an
excellent wear-out behavior make them the probes with
the highest resolution capabilities in the NANOSENSORS™
product range.
Single / Double Wall Carbon Nanotubes are grown
by Chemical Vapor Deposition at the apex of
NANOSENSORS™ PointProbe Plus tips. The CNT probes
are “ready to use” in the AFM. No shortening or
postprocessing is necessary.
