VERTISENSE™ THERMAL PROBE (VTP)
Breakthrough in SThM was achieved through innovative probe design
- Silicon cantilever with hollow SiO₂ tip integrated with 50 nm thermocouple at the apex of the tip
- Thermal isolation of the sensor allows accurate measurement of sample temperatures- 0.01 °C sensitivity
- Choice of materials and probe design allow measuring high temperatures- up to 700 °C
- Two types of VTP probes:
- VTP-200 for Tapping™/Peak Force Tapping™/Contact
- VTP-500 for Contact mode
- Design also allows imaging in temperature mapping mode (TMM) or conductivity mapping mode (CMM) by changing the position of AFM laser on the cantilever
- Probes are pre-mounted on adapter boards specific to AFM systems
