December 16, 2014 – NIST Sensor Enables Self-calibrating AFM

Tuesday, December 16th, 2014

Pressure of light from an optical fiber sets an AFM tip vibrating, of which the movement is measured by an interferometer through another optical fiber giving a value of the probe ‘s stiffness as a means of self-calibration.  (Posted by Ed Perkins, Y. Tzeng)
