Probe Series: HYDRA Technical Specifications Sheet Model: HYDRA6R200NG

600 nm thick, Rectangular, 200 m long, Narrow cantilever, reflex side Gold coated

HYDRA probe series from APPNANO are the worlds first truly hybrid probes having low stress SILICON NITRIDE CANTILEVERS integrated with single crystal SILICON TIPS. These probes are designed to fit in to most SPM/AFM instruments. The shape and geometry of the handle chips are similar to that of standard silicon probes. These are the only commercially available probes that allow for high resolution imaging in fluid without reflex coating. The following features make these probes unique for biological applications: A. Optional Reflex Coating : A silicon pad underneath the tip is used to reflect the laser; metal coating is therefore not required. B. No Bimorph Effect : Probes without reflex coating do not show this effect when imaging in liquid. This facilitates instant imaging without waiting to stabilize the probe in the solution. A. Chemical Functionalization: The silicon tips can be made hydrophobic or hydrophilic with ease. B. Electrical Contact : The backside plane of the silicon chip maintains uninterrupted connection from the tip to the base.
