title: Whisker probes
abstract: A new technology for preparation of AFM probes based on whiskers is proposed. The technology posseses significant advantages to the whisker probes over standard ones as related to the shapes of the probes, as well as to the properties of the cantilevers on which the whiskers are grown.
