Zusammenfassung:A scanning probe sensor (100) for a scanning probe microscope (110) comprising a probe tip (120) having a ferromagnetic fluid (125) and a magnetic field generator (130) adapted to generate a magnetic field acting on the ferromagnetic fluid (125). Furthermore, a sensor controller (150) is provided and configured to control one or more parameters of the magnetic field generator (130), thereby controlling the shape of the fluid (125).
