Non-contact / Soft Tapping mode NanoWorld Pointprobe® NCST AFM probes are designed for non-contact or soft tapping mode imaging. The combination of soft cantilever and fairly high resonance frequency enables stable and fast measurements with reduced tip-sample interaction.

Thus, tip and sample wear could be significantly decreased. All SPM and AFM 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 typical height of 10 - 15 µm. Additionally, this AFM probe offers a typical tip radius of curvature of less than 8 nm.
