The NANOSENSORS™ SD-qp-CONT-TL tipless AFM cantilevers are a product from the NANOSENSORS™ Special Developments List. They are made of a quartz-like material and have a rectangular shape. The nominal force constant is 0.1 N/m.
A partial reflective gold coating is deposited on the free end of the detector side of the AFM cantilever. The main advantages of the coating are the low bending and the reduced drift, particularly for measurements in liquid environments.
The holder chip features alignment grooves on the back side which guarantee precise alignment of the AFM cantilever position when used together with the NANOSENSORS™ Alignment chip.
