MikroMasch® Introducing OPUS™ AFM Tips
The key feature of OPUS™ is AFM tip visibility: OPUS™ AFM tips are positioned exactly at the end of each cantilever at an angle of 90 degrees, which enables a precise tip positioning on the sample to be measured. OPUS™ tips are available on all standard cantilever types for all commonly used AFM applications, including high-speed scanning. OPUS™ AFM probes also offer all major coatings that are being used in AFM. Evaluation samples are free.
