2. Applications
The ability to study surfaces with extreme resolution using atomic force microscopy techniques has led to the emergence of a wealth of related techniques using locally interacting probes. The world of local detection techniques and AFM-type microscopy is described in figure 18 .
2.1 Local properties
The ability of the AFM to measure locally weak forces...
