Tuning Fork Scanning Probe Microscopes - Applications for the Nano-Analysis of the Material Surface and Local Physico-Mechanical Properties

Development of in-situ measurement systems for capturing free-form and mirror finish surface information

“…The tuning fork is implemented in the LT-9010M as an oscillation unit. The tuning forks have several advantages such as high amplitude and phase sensitivities, high mechanical quality factor and corresponding high gain, which make the system able to achieve accurate sensor tip positioning in scanning probe microscope and confocal microscope [191,192].…”
