Analytical Atomic-Scale Microscopy

Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) / Atomic-Force Microscopy (AFM)
(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”
