<p>A metal tip (1) for scanning probe applications is provided. The tip (1) has an axial extension (I), a radial extension (d), a pointy section (B) that extends axially from a section of maximum radial extension (5) to an atomically sharp end (9), and a blunt section (A) that extends axially from the section of maximum radial extension (5) to a blunt end (7), where the axial extension of the pointy section (B) is larger than the axial extension of the blunt section (A) The metal tip (1) has a mass of 10 µg or less.</p> |
