β¦ Synopsis
The force microscope provides the most flexible of surface force measurement techniques for probing the richness and complexity of surface interactions. The technique is reviewed over the past 3 years for developments in instrumentation, colloidal force measurement, and nano-mechanical measurements on single molecules.

Atomic force microscopy in conjunction with the colloid (silica) probe technique has been used to quantify the variations in electrical double-layer interactions and adhesion at different locations on a rough reverse osmosis membrane (AFC99) surface in NaCl solutions. Prior scanning of the membrane
The imaging process in noncontact atomic force microscopy (AFM) is studied on a number of reactive surfaces, namely, the Takayanagi reconstructed Si(111), InP(110), and GaAs(110). We show that on these surfaces, the short-range dangling-bond type of interaction between the tip and the surface is dec
Dynamic force microscopy has proved to be a powerful imaging tool. Here, the tip of an atomic force microscope is vibrated at a high frequency, typically the resonance frequency of the lever sensor, and at a large vibration amplitude, typically of the order of 10 nm. Imaging contrast is obtained fro
