Resonant Probe AFM: Uses and Advantages

A resonant probe atomic force microscope (AFM) offers capabilities and benefits not found in commonly used optical deflection AFMs in the measurement of physical constants, physical properties, and surface morphology.However, resonant probe AFMs’ functionality and potential remain misunderstood, even though resonant probe technology and its methodology are decades old. This article discusses resonant probe AFM construction, functionality, and typical applications, as well as introduces readers to Mad City Labs’ custom AFM solutions.
