For many years, the NanoWorld R&D team has dedicated a considerable amount of its research activities to the development of special probes for High Speed Scanning.
The first probe capable of resonating at a frequency of up to 2 MHz, called Arrow™ UHF, was introduced in early 2004 as a commercial product.
Meanwhile users in many research institutions worldwide are working with the Arrow™ UHF for HS-AFM applications.
The second generation of probes dedicated to High Speed AFM has been developed in collaboration with nanotools GmbH which has more than 10 years of experience in the field of EBD tip growing.
These Ultra-Short Cantilevers (USC) combine very small cantilevers capable of resonating at frequencies up to 25 MHz and a very sharp and wear resistant High Dense Carbon Diamond Like Carbon (HDC / DLC) tip.
