| (SPM) is a branch of microscopy that forms
images of surfaces using a physical probe or the
sample to scan the specimen. An image of the
surface is obtained by mechanically moving the
probe in a
raster scan of the specimen, line by line,
and recording the probe-surface interaction as a
function of position. SPM gives an opportunity
to carry out studies of spatial, physical and
chemical properties of objects with the typical
dimensions of less than a few nanometers. Owing
to its multifunctionality, availability and
simplicity, Atomic-Force Microscope (AFM) has
become one of the most prevailing “tools for
nanotechnology” |
