Force Microscopy
Abstract Force microscopy is a new technique which allows the investigation of minute interactions on a micrometer down to an atomic scale. We will give a short overview of the most important experimental aspects and describe recent trends in instrumentation and force probe design. Different forces which have been studied by force microscopy are summarized. The emphasis is put on the imaging mode of force microscopy in the regime of repulsive contact forces, commonly called atomic force microscopy (AFM). Numerous examples from our group as well as from other laboratories illustrate the high resolution capability of AFM, and the wide variety of samples studied so far show the applicability of AFM to different fields of actual interest, such as surface science, biology and technology.
