How to Acquire Nanoscale Topography Using AFM
We will again engage in a roughly one-hour lecture applying the finer details of how an AFM operates to the fundamental operational modes (Contact, True Non-Contact™, Tapping, and PinPoint™) used to acquire topography of nanoscale features with a Park Systems AFM. Discussion and questions are welcomed.

Interactive Demo Session Two:

Lecture topics will be reinforced through demonstration and practice of True Non-Contact™, Tapping, and PinPoint™ on a Park Systems NX series AFM. Each imaging mode and sample choice will demonstrate how the AFM is used to gain topographical information at the nanoscale and reinforce operator feedback control of the tip and sample atomic interaction.
