VertiSenseTM Thermal Probes

Unprecedented ultra high resolution temperature and conductivity mapping of samples at the nanoscale

VertiSenseTM Thermal Probes are used for Scanning Thermal Microscopy. These innovative thermal probes can be used to image thermal properties of a sample in either Temperature Mapping or Thermal Conductivity Mapping Modes. The thermocouple sensor is located at the apex of the tip to allow true temperature measurement with ultra high lateral thermal resolution.

There are 5 probes in each box. The probes are mounted for specific AFM models.
Brand name and model of AFM is required at the time of ordering.
- VertiSenseTM Thermal Probes work only with the AppNano Thermal Imaging Amplifier.
- Probe temperature calibration services are available at an additional cost.
