Hello,

I need to indent really deep into a sample with a tipless cantilever (or a colloidal probe), as I am limited by the Z motion, I need to find a very still tipless cantilever (Spring constant >100 N/m) to limit the deflexion.

Anyone have an idea where I could find that?

Thanks,

Benoit.

Hi Benoit,

some of the rigid probes can be seen here; http://www.brukerafmprobes.com/category-list.aspx

I was not able to find tipless there. Would you try gluing spheres or order custom cantilevers from them?

Please let me know how it went: http://confocal-manawatu.pbworks.com/w/page/23665663/Dmitry%20Sokolov

Hi Benoit,

For attaching particles to tipless cantilevers this receipe posted by Johannes is proven:
