Nano-Tec Magnetic Metal Specimen Support Discs for AFM Atomic Force Microscope and SPM Scanning Probe Microscope

Introduction

Magnetic metal specimen support discs are used on the AFM and SPM systems which employ a  button magnet to hold the metal specimen disc. The Nano-Tec metal specimen discs are made of a magnetic type 430 stainless steel with a nominal thickness of 0.90mm and a tolerance of +/- 0.08mm.
The smooth edges and flat surfaces of the Nano-Tec AFM / SPM discs ensure secure holding by the button magnet. Specimens can be mounted directly  on the metal discs with double sided tape, epoxy or conductive paste.  If a mica specimen support is needed, the mica discs can be easily mounted on the metal support discs. The metals specimen support discs are currently offered in:

• Bright stainless steel Nano-Tec metal  AFM / SPM specimen discs. They are cleaned after manufacturing to remove the dull grey oxide layer you will find on other brands on AFM/ SPM discs.  Available in the most popular 5 diameters: 6, 10, 12, 15 and 20mm. Packaged in a plastic tube of 50 each.
• Gold plated Nano-Tec metal  AFM / SPM specimen discs with 1µm of pure gold. Gold is an inert metal with high electrical and thermal conductivity and resist electromigration as a chemically inert material. Available in the most 4 diameters: 10, 12, 15 and 20mm. Packaged in a the 40-100808 AFM disc storage box.
