Cantilever Parameters

The following parameters are needed to calibrate PeakForce QNM.

Spring Constant

Measure the spring constant of the probe and input that value into this panel. Spring constant may be measured using the Thermal Tune function in NanoScope software. Refer to Calibrate the Spring Constant Using Thermal Tuning for details.

Tip Radius

Measure the tip radius and input the value in this panel. Tip radius may be measured using a tip characterizer sample and the Tip Qualification function in NanoScope software. Refer to Measure the Tip Radius for details.

Poisson’s Ratio

Poisson’s ratio of the sample. This is used to calculate the sample modulus, Es, from the measured reduced modulus, E*: Refer to Calibrate PeakForce QNM for details.
