| Double-Wire Thermoresistive Probes |
|
Nanonics is the only supplier of thermoresistive (thermoconductivity) probes that provide intermittent contact imaging of surfaces. These probes are the first to provide thermal conductivity or resistance measurements alongside standard non-contact or intermittent contact normal force AFM. These probes can also be used as nanoheaters or active nanoIR NSOM sources.
