Cantilever

The Nascatec-Levers are made out of single crystal silicon to provide the customer a high chemical stability and a high Q-factor. The pyramidal tip is well located at the very end of the cantilever beam. The tip is extra sharpened to leed up to a tip radius of well below 10 nm. The silicon based beam deflection cantilevers are available for many different measurement modes.

SNOM

For the SNOM-Cantilevers we replaced the solid silicon tip by a hollow pyramid with an aperture size of 50 or 100 nm. Compared to a fibre SNOM-Sensor the Cantilever SNOM shows much higher light transmission, up to a factor of 100 and puts the user in a position to also measure the topography with approx. comparable resolution like standard AFM. The aperture size can be changed to meet the demands of the users. Nascatec is the only manufacturer of those sensors worldwide.

Nanomanipulator

The Nascatec nanogripper is a electrostatically driven. It is build to operate and manipulate smallest particles and components. It can operate in standard atmosphere as well as in UHV conditions. Long-term tests of more than 10 million opening and closing actions prove the long term stability. The nanogripper can be delivered with tweezers opening of 170 microns and 50 microns. Other tweezer openings down to 5 microns can be customized.
