TappingMode ™ enables researchers to cannot afford to contact imaging model of transverse force weak samples, and can achieve far in excess of the non-contact mode of rapid scanning speed.
TappingMode AFM is brook a patent technique, by using the vibration probe tip tapping surface topography imaging.The oscillation amplitude of the beam with the sample surface morphology change, through monitoring the changes and changes in z feedback loop will maintain at a minimum, morphology image is achieved.
This popular AFM model is the basis of many advanced mode, such asElectrostatic force microscopy (EFM) and magnetic force microscope (MFM).
