Extreme High-Aspect Ratio AFM Probe

Carbon Core BioProbe from Carbon Design Innovations The CCB (Carbon Core BioProbe) from Carbon Design Innovations is suited for extreme high-aspect-ratio life science imaging.

The carbon nanotube (CNT) AFM probes reveal accurate surface morphology, especially for cellular samples, such as rat basophilic lymphocytes cells. All observations reflect the geometry of the CCB probes, which exhibit little convolution in AFM imaging. The probes are perfectly straight and precisely aligned, allowing them to be set at desired angles to the imaging surface.

The securely anchored CNT provides robust, stable imaging with new levels of performance. In addition, the probes have longer imaging lifetimes than other probe types. In addition, the ability to apply proprietary coatings allows the company to produce reliable CNT probes up to 5 microns in total length.

As a result, the probes offer users superior imaging flexibility, performance and reproducibility that enable them to make advances in new areas of AFM research. The probes are also compatible with all major AFM systems.

The CCB probe offers extreme high-aspect-ratio imaging capability for life science applications and allows AFM scientists to look at more detailed cell structure. Other features include stability and durability in a high-aspect-ratio probe designed for difficult-to-resolve scanning operations, such as deep-trench imaging.

The total CNT probe length is 2 to 5 µ with the exposed CNT length being <500 nm. The CCB comes on an applied nanostructures probe but can be mounted onto any AFM cantilever.

Striving Toward Secondary Goals
Late last month, Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich stunned most everyone when he declared his promise that "by the end of my second term, we will have the first permanent base on the moon." While I don’t fault Gingrich for dreaming and trying to set high standards and goals, I can’t help but think of the enormous amount of known and unknown variables that significantly deter this accomplishment...continue
