Bristol, UK – 01 February, 2024 – NuNano, the high-quality atomic force microscopy (AFM) probe manufacturer, is delighted to announce that their conductive AFM probe range, SPARK, are now available on the Oxford Instruments eStore.
The addition of SPARKs to the eStore reflects the expanding global distribution partnership with Oxford Instruments Asylum Research (Santa Babara, US). The integration of SPARKs broadens the product offering, ensuring customers achieve reliable imaging every time when using NuNano’s range of AFM probes alongside Oxford Instruments Asylum Research AFM instruments.
“Nano-electrical measurements are becoming increasingly important for materials characterisation, particularly for those materials being incorporated into a new generation of electronic devices” said James Vicary, NuNano Co-founder & Managing Director.
The SPARK range of conductive AFM probes are designed for electrical AFM measurements, such as Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy, Piezo-response Force Microscopy and Conductive AFM. Attention to quality and reliability, guarantees tip radius, while the symmetric tip profile ensures measurement precision across a wide range of nano-electrical applications.
Manufactured with the tightest dimensional tolerances in the market, SPARK conductive AFM probes offer minimal variation in spring constant and resonant frequency, setting the standard in probe reliability and performance.
The SPARK series joins NuNano’s silicon AFM probe collection (SCOUT) in the Oxford Instruments eStore and direct from their regional offices.
