70 nm Au on the back side of the cantilever
The 160AC series is designed primarily for standard AC mode AFM imaging in air or vacuum. The uncoated tip offers a sharp tip apex and chemical inertness. The back side gold coating ensures high and stable laser reflectivity in air, liquid and aggressive chemical environments. The tetrahedral tip is located precisely at the free end of the cantilever. This allows the tip to be positioned accurately over the area of interest on the sample surface.
