About SCL Sensor.Tech
SCL Sensor.Tech has pioneered the development and dissemination of self-sensing cantilever technology for atomic force microscopy (AFM) and related nano-mechanical applications. Over the years, the SCL naming has appeared worldwide in scientific publications, project work, and prototype systems.
This website is no longer actively maintained as a standalone presence. To ensure long-term availability of information and commercial support, the activities have been consolidated under c-sense nanotechnology GmbH.
What are Self-Sensing Cantilevers?
Self-sensing cantilevers integrate the readout function directly into the cantilever, enabling electrical detection of cantilever motion without external optical beam deflection.
Key characteristics include:
- Integrated electrical readout without a laser alignment requirement
- Compact system integration, enabling reduced footprint and simplified instrument design
- Operation in demanding environments, such as low temperature, vacuum, or constrained geometries
- Compatibility with advanced measurement modes, depending on configuration and application
Continuation under c-sense nanotechnology GmbH
The further development, production, and commercialization of self-sensing cantilever technology is now handled by c-sense nanotechnology GmbH. The underlying technology and scientific foundations remain consistent—what has changed is the organizational framework and the current product and support infrastructure.
