Extended life high aspect ratio tips

Tips are coated with conductive, wear resistent metal carbide. Smooth and well defined tip surface. An additional SEM-package is available for these tips.

Specifications:

SEM-package includes:  SEM-Image (as "tif" - File) and measured radius of tip apex  and the cantilver dimensions (used for calculation of lever stiffness).

Please add one SEM-package for each 5 pack in your order of HSC tips.

One pack includes 5 cantilever chips.

Available cantilevers:
   l = 125 µm, C = 40 N/m, fo = 300 kHz
   l = 225 µm, C = 3.0 N/m, fo = 75 kHz
