STM-TERS tips and AFM-TERS tips are available for the HORIBA NanoRaman platform. The TERS probes allow all modes of TERS operation: Top, side and bottom optical access.
Made of bulk noble metal (STM tips) or with a multilayer coating on AFM tips, the TERS probes are delivered in a protective package to maximize shelf-life. Today, Silver coated TERS tips, Gold coated AFM-TERS tips and Gold STM-TERS tips are available (the same STM tips can be glued on tuning forks for both Shear-force and Normal-force microcopies).
