Bruker AFM Probes has introduced an improved version of its popular MPP Line of AFM probes.  Bruker's new line of RTESP/A high quality premium etched silicon probes complements the TESP-V2 range of probes and sets the industry standard for imaging in TappingMode and non-contact mode in air, as well as for force modulation measurements and contact mode imaging.

The new RTESP/A design provides:

•      Rotated probe tip for more symmetrical representation of sample features

•      Tighter dimensional specifications for improved probe to probe consistency

•      Tighter alignment of the tip apex to the cantilever resulting in easier laser positioning over the tip

•      Improved probe quality & aesthetics

 

The legacy MPP probes and the new RTESP/A models are very similar in design but with improvements in cantilever shape quality and tightening of dimensional variation.  The minor specification changes are a nominal thickness of 3.8 µm compared to the legacy 3.5 µm, and the nominal tip height has changed from 17.5 µm to 12.5 µm.  Full specifications can be found on each probe's page in the links below.
 
Bruker is the only AFM instrument company that also manufactures AFM probes, and, along with our experienced applications support, offers unparalleled comprehensive AFM solutions.  Our extensive line of AFM probes include the highest quality silicon, silicon nitride, and proprietary PeakForce Tapping^® probes to meet the needs of most AFM users.  Our dedication to manufacturing probes, coupled with our expertise in AFM, ensures that we are uniquely equipped to deliver the most complete AFM solution for the widest variety of applications.
