Scanning Probe Microscopy

Scanning Probe Microscopy is a family of high-resolution surface characterization techniques in which a sharp, nanoscale physical probe is raster-scanned across a sample and local probe–sample interactions are measured to reconstruct topographical and related physical or chemical properties with nanometer to atomic spatial resolution.
