SmartTip's range of Smart Coated probes is the solution for regular MFM work requiring high resolution, easy to handle and cost effective probes.  

Smart Coating
The magnetic coating is applied on only one face of the pyramid, leaving the other faces and cantilever uncoated. The result is a probe that combines very high magnetic resolution with improved AFM resolution (compared to a 'standard' MFM probe). The magnetic state of these tips is very well defined and stable, severly reducing the influence of sample stray fields and external applied fields on the image quality.
See the Technology section for more details on the reversal behaviour of these tips.

Hard Magnetic
A range of Smart Coated hard magnetic cobalt based alloy coatings are available. The right choice of probe for your hard magnetic sample depends on the optimal compromise between resolution and signal strength for your applications. More information on signal strength and resolution can be found in the Technology section.

Soft Magnetic
The Side Coated probes are ideal for measurements on soft magnetic samples. Due to the Side Coating approach there is hardly any magnetic material on the cantilever. As a result the background field exerted on the sample is greatly reduced. For measurements on soft magnetic samples we offer nickel coated probes. Again the optimal probe for your application depends on the trade off between signal strength and stray field from the tip. For very sensative samples you might want to use a CantiClever or Whisker Type probe.
