The Pyrex-Nitride probes have silicon nitride cantilevers witd very low force constants and integrated oxide sharpened, pyramidal tips witd a height of 3.5 µm. The tip is located 4 µm behind tde free end of tde cantilever. This probe series features a support chip tdat is made of Pyrex. Two chip versions are available: The DB series witd rectangular / diving board cantilevers and tde TR series having triangular cantilevers. Botd sides of tde chip have identical cantilevers.
