The FT-S High-Temperature Microforce Sensing Probes are Micro-Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) based microforce sensors capable of measuring forces from 200mN to 2 µN. Furthermore, with the monolithically integrated tip heater, the temperature of the nanoindenter tip can be accurately matched to the temperature of the sample, enabling isothermal testing conditions.
The outstanding long-term stability and low signal drift guarantees significantly higher measurement accuracy than any other force sensing system in this force range. The accuracy of the FemtoTools SI-traceable calibration process is ensured by comparative measurements with the Swiss National Institute of Metrology (METAS).
The High-Temperature Microforce Sensing Probes are available with a variety of tip materials such as diamond or tungsten carbide with various geometries including Berkovich, cube corner, flat punch, wedge, conical and more.
