Asylum Research, the technology leader in scanning probe/atomic force microscopy (AFM/SPM), announces that its new automated AFM/SPM Probe Store is now online. The probe store provides simple search, sort, selection, quotation and purchase for a wide variety of different probes. Probe sort/search can be performed in seconds by application (e.g. biology, force measurements, electrical probing, steep sidewalls etc), type (e.g. contact, AC/tapping, coating, length), length, frequency, tip radius, composition/material, spring constant and more.

Asylum’s Probe Store offers hundreds of different probe types for every application, including Asylum’s own line of probes as well as probes manufactured by Olympus, NanoWorld, Nanosensors, and SmartTip. Detailed description, specifications, and SEM images of each probe are provided.

Asylum is also offering a Summer Kickoff Special: Through August 31, online Probe Store purchases (not including tax/shipping) will earn a free pack of tapping/AC mode probes:
