| Electrochemical and SECM Probes |
|
Nanonics is the only provider today of Scanning Electrochemical Microscopy Probes (SECM) probes with normal force sensing capabilities. Electrochemical & SECM probes consist of a tapered metal wire running through a glass nanopipette. These probes are produced with the metal flush with the glass tip and protruding slightly from its aperture. They aid in the performance of localized electrochemistry experiments and can also be used as electron sources.
