“I have been successful in applying my chemical process to the sensors I purchased from you. I subject them to a wet chemical process that’s pretty harsh, and they withstand it.”

I was doing application measurements by using AFSEM for GETec Microscopy. Especially for challenging samples with complex surface topography (e.g. fracture of a steel sample) SCL’s SCD probes were always very welcome! Basically, when other tips tend to break, the tip on a SCD probe remained very sharp and delivered precise images. The very long lifetime of a SCD cantilever is a very nice and useful feature for AFM! The combination of the AFSEM microscope and the SCD cantilevers made it very exciting to work.
