NuNano SCOUT 150 Silicon AFM Probe | Soft Sample Imaging
The NuNano SCOUT 150 is a premier general purpose afm tip specifically tailored for delicate imaging environments. Engineered for exceptional performance as a tapping mode afm probe air and ac mode afm probe softer materials, it provides precise afm topography polymers mapping without exerting damaging forces on your sample.
Built with a fine-tuned scout 150 18 n/m spring constant and a 150 khz resonant frequency, it utilizes a highly flexible afm cantilever 225 µm long. Accompanied by a brilliantly sharp afm tip conical 10 nm radius, the SCOUT 150 is the definitive silicon afm probe for resolving high-quality nanoscale topography on thin films and biological samples.

Frequently Asked Questions: SCOUT 150 AFM Probes
With an 18 N/m spring constant, the SCOUT 150 is the premier afm probe softer samples choice. It is perfectly optimized for tapping mode afm polymers air, biological samples, and delicate thin films where low force imaging is required to prevent sample damage.
This model utilizes a rectangular afm cantilever 225 µm long, 30 µm wide, and 5.5 µm thick. The afm tip is conical with a 10 nm radius (nominal 5 nm) and a tip height of 12 µm, making it highly effective as a nanoscale probe polymers air component.
The SCOUT 150 features a lower afm probe spring constant 18 n/m and lower silicon afm probe 150 khz resonant frequency, specifically tailored for afm probes soft matter research. In contrast, the SCOUT 350 (42 N/m, 350 kHz) is significantly stiffer and intended for hard surface imaging.
Yes, we offer uncoated afm probes softer imaging models, the scout 150 ral aluminium reflective (40 nm Al) coating, and the scout 150 rau gold reflective (5 nm Ti / 40 nm Au) coating to match your laboratory's specific optical tracking requirements.
NuNano SCOUT 150 probes are supplied exclusively in an afm probes pack 10. This ensures a steady supply of scout 150 low dud rate probes for consistent, uninterrupted university afm probes polymers research.
