Cantilever Specification Table
For additional specifications, select the cantilever model. Download the Asylum Research Cantilever Price Guide for a complete list of all cantilever models, available quantities, and pricing. Note that coatings describe the reflex side of the cantilever unless specifically noted as a tip coating.

To purchase cantilevers, you may place a credit card order by phoning 888-472-2795 or 805-696-6466, faxing a purchase order to 805-696-6444 (US and Canada only), or sending your purchase information to sales@AsylumResearch.com. Olympus and NANOSENSORS/NANOWORLD cantilevers are only available to US and Canadian customers.

Cantilever Availability
Cantilevers marked with an * are in stock for the pack quantities (wafers/half wafers are not stocked). Delivery times for most other cantilevers are approximately 3-4 weeks. Please contact Asylum Research to verify lead times.

NANOSENSORS/NANOWORLD Cantilevers

• Arrow™ – The unique arrow shape with the tip position at the very end of the cantilever allows easy positioning of the tip on the area of interest and a tip radius of <10 nm.
• ATEC™ – Advanced tip at the end of the cantilever for real tip visibility from the top.
• PPP™ – New Point Probe Plus with a smaller tip radius, typically <7nm.
• Tipless cantilevers for a variety of imaging modes.
