By the probe in question, I suspect you are using TappingMode. I would perhaps approach your problem from a different direction and recommend you scan with Peak Force Tapping. We have found the PFT can image with considerably less tip damage and wear. This is a discussed a bit in this post: http://nanoscaleworld...

Additionally, you might want to try dropping the "Engage setpoint" to 0.08V (in the "Other" controls in scan parameter list) and the engage step size to 0.5um (in the general engage parameters). This will help give a softer engage when using stiffer probes with Peak Force Tapping...

Tony, I don’t think you should have any problem using these probes, and the operation should not change. A key feature of ScanAsyst is its exceptional force control when compared to other modes, and we have found that this force control enables much higher resolution when imaging because tip sharpness...

For general purpose imaging we recommend ScanAsyst-AIR probes because their low spring constants and sharp tips provide the best high-resolution imaging on soft samples without damaging tips or samples. To enable quantitative modulus mapping, some deformation of the sample is necessary. For stiffer samples...
