AFM Omega Cantilever
Ultrasensitive readout with integrated thermoelectrical actuator
About this probe
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 routine atomic-resolution imaging, unlocking insights that were previously out of reach. The result is enhanced precision, greater flexibility, and improved performance for nanoscale characterization and metrology.
