AFM Omega Cantilever
New generation-Ultrasensitive readout Active cantilever probes
The Omega Active Cantilever is the latest generation of
active cantilever technology from nano analytik GmbH,
combining ultrasensitive piezoresistive readout with
integrated thermomechanical actuation in a compact
self-sensing and self-actuating probe.
The technology enables reproducible atomic-resolution
imaging and higher imaging performance determined by the
detection bandwidth of the probe (given by the resonance
frequency and the Q-factor) and capable for suitable for
force sensing and unprecedented increased deflection
sensing efficiency.
The unique design provide effective temperature and
actuator crosstalk compensation and step measurements
in the range of 100pm.
The new Omega-design allows imaging in opaque environments
and can be employed in spaces with extremely small
geometrical constraints or imaging of photon-sensitive
samples like photoresists or bio-samples.
Whether in semiconductor R&D, physics, chemistry,
or materials science, the Omega Active Cantilever helps
researchers push the boundaries of nanoscale measurement
— from routine surface characterisation to cutting-edge
quantum device research.
