ART Single Crystal Diamond (SCD) Probes

ARTTM probes are single crystal diamond (SCD) tips specially grown in CVD process and attached to silicon cantilevers for use in AFM. ARTTM growth technology provides durable and chemically inert probes with high aspect ratio and small tip radius by affordable price comparable to that of traditional silicon probes. SCD tip usually has a sharp edge at the apex which makes it applicable for imaging flat surfaces w ith high resolution.
