Today we're looking at Atomic Force Microscopy! I built a "macro-AFM" to demonstrate the principles of an atomic force microscope, then we look at a real AFM (an nGauge AFM from ICSPI) and do a few scans in the shop to see how it works.

AFM is a complimentary technique to SEM.  Both can provide nanometer resolution images, but their different mechanisms (phyiscal probing vs electron beam) means they have different characteristics.  AFM excels in precise heightmaps of the sample, easy scanning (no vacuum, no metal coating) and a diverse range of related techniques.  SEM offers high depth-of-field and a very large field of view, which makes it easy to get a broad overview of a sample and then zoom in.  Labs often use both in research because they compliment each other's strengths.
