SILICON NITRIDE PROBES
AppNano offers two series of silicon nitride cantilevered probes:
- Hydra series- a hybrid probe with nitride cantilever and a silicon tip and
- Nitra series- features both the cantilever and tip made up of silicon nitride
HYDRA SERIES:
- HYDRA probes are the world’s first true hybrid probes- low stress silicon nitride cantilevers integrated with sharp single crystal silicon tips
- Silicon tip is integrated on a silicon pad for increased laser reflectivity without metal coating
- This unique design ensures stable imaging in liquid without thermal drift
- Available in rectangular (R) or triangular (V) shaped cantilevers of different lengths and thickness to enable various modes of AFM in both air/liquid media
- Ideal for imaging soft biological samples in their aqueous environment
- Silicon tips can be made hydrophobic or hydrophilic for functionalization studies
- Tip can be made conductive by backside metal coating for electrical measurements

HYDRA V- SHAPED CANTILEVERS:
- V shaped cantilevers are more stable to torsional or lateral forces that makes them ideal probes for imaging samples with high adhesive forces, deep trenches and contact mode imaging in general.
