Probing nanoscale forces with the atomic force microscope

Atomic force microscopy allows one to measure forces on the probe tip as it approaches and retracts from a surface. AFM is being used to study a variety of polymers, organic films, metals, thin films, semiconductors and insulators. many biological processes can also be measured.
