Force Curves

Force Curves ramp tip-sample separation while holding the X, Y position constant in the center of the previous scan. The scanner’s vertical position is plotted versus either the cantilever deflection (Contact AFM), or the amplitude of the cantilever oscillation (TappingMode). Alternatively, the cantilever deflection or oscillation amplitude can be plotted relative to a user-designated input signal.
