Other Techniques
Nanoindenting and scratching
- A diamond tip is mounted on a metal cantilever and scanned either with contact or TappingMode.
- Indenting mode presses the tip into the sample
- Scratch mode drags the tip across the sample at a specific rate and with a specified force.
- The use of TappingMode makes it possible to simultaneously image soft samples.
Imaging of biological samples
- cells, DNA (TappingMode in solution)
