What are the Advantages of Scanning Probe Microscopy?
SPM offers several advantages:
1. High Resolution: Capable of imaging surfaces at the atomic level. 2. Versatility: Can be used on a variety of materials, including conductors, insulators, and biological samples. 3. Quantitative Measurements: Provides quantitative data on surface roughness, mechanical properties, and electrical properties. 4. Minimal Sample Preparation: Often requires little to no sample preparation compared to other microscopy techniques.
