Advantages Of AFM ( Atomic Force Microscope)
Scanning probe microscopes are used for measuring physical properties of chemicals and
biological materials. This microscope is used for obtaining images which can define
surface properties of various materials. The surface of material is scanned and is
monitored to obtain an image. These microscopes are basically of two types which are
STM (scanning tunneling microscope) and AFM (atomic force microscope). In the following
sections AFM and it's advantages will be discussed about:
AFM
This type of high-resolution scanning probe microscope takes measurement in
nanometers. Atomic force microscope or AFM holds the prestige of being one of the highly
advanced tools that are used for imaging and measurement of matter at nanoscale. This
device gathers information for measurement by employing a high resolution AFM
mechanical probe which comes into contact with the surface that has to be measured. The
piezoelectric elements facilitates precise moveme
