Abstract

The operation of a scanning force microscope that is relatively immune to charge-induced forces while allowing the probe tip to nondestructively follow the surface topography is discussed. A servoed force-balance sensor is incorporated in the instrument. The sensor responded to forces associated with the solid surfaces and not to the forces arising from charging or contamination.
