Introduction

SensaProbes are manufactured by Applied NanoStructures using a simplified semiconductor process to produce AFM probes for everyday lab use at affordable prices. SensaProbes are made to exceed the expectation of users of other low cost AFM probes. The manufacturing of SensaProbes utilizes new high volume processes and standard semiconductor production techniques which achieves high yields at good quality and at reduced cost. This benefit saves AFM labs hundreds of dollars per month on routine probes. SensaPr obes are highly recommended for early stage scans and student use.

SensaProbes Tapping Mode Probes

TM300 & TM190 SensaProbes from Applied NanoStructures are high resonance frequency AFM tips for tapping/non-contact mode applications. The probes come in variable cantilever dimensions and the option of aluminum backside coated (for increased reflectivity) or bare silicon cantilevers.

TM300 Nominal Specifications:

Resonance Frequency: 300kHz
Spring Constant: 40N/m
Cantilever Length: 125µm

TM190 Nominal Specifications:

Resonance Frequency: 190kHz
Spring Constant: 45N/m
Cantilever Length: 225µm

SensaProbes Force Modulation Mode Probes

FM60 SensaProbes from Applied NanoStructures are medium resonance frequency AFM tips for force modulation mode applications. FM60 can also be utilized in contact and tapping mode applications and is regarded as a multi-purpose tip. The probes come with the option of aluminum backside coated (for increased reflectivity) or bare silicon cantilevers.

FM60 Nominal Specifications:

Resonance Frequency: 60kHz
Spring Constant: 3N/m
Cantilever Length: 225µm

SensaProbes Contact Mode Probes

CM28 & CM12 are low resonance frequency, low spring constant AFM tips for contact mode applications. The probes come in variable cantilever dimensions and the option of aluminum backside coated (for increased reflectivity) or bare silicon cantilevers.

CM28 Nominal Specifications:
