Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a surface characterization instrument which utilizes a tip to “feel” the surface. AFM has great potential as a tool for materials science studies in that it not only is a tool to image the topography of solid surfaces at high resolution, but also characterizes the surface mechanical, electrical and other properties. Recently there is an increasing demand to characterize larger and more complex biomolecular systems, modern AFM techniques have experienced a great deal of progress in the evaluation of local mechanical properties and topography of the living cells at a high spatial resolution and force sensitivity

The most common use of a laser in an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is to generate a coherent beam of light that is reflected from the back of the AFM probe and onto a photodetector. As the AFM cantilever moves up and down, or twists left and right, the reflected beam traverses the photodetector creating a change in the voltage output from the segments (quadrants) of the photodetector. This difference signal is normalized to the total voltage output (the “sum”) and that normalized difference value is used as a measure of the degree of vertical deflection of the AFM probe. The coolest part of this system is the incredible sensitivity achieved by the laser behaving like a mechanical lever. Tiny motions of the AFM probe result in much larger motions of the laser traversing the photodetector. In this way one can measure nanoscale topographical changes or picoNewton forces on a surface. Lasers can also be used in the AFM to: cause thermal bending of AFM cantilever for remote mechanical control. heat the cantilever for thermal effects.

The function of an atomic force microscope (AFM) is to image surfaces at the atomic scale by using a sharp probe to detect the interaction forces between the probe and the sample surface. This allows for high-resolution imaging of surfaces and measurement of surface properties such as roughness, friction, and magnetic forces. AFM is commonly used in various fields including materials science, biology, and nanotechnology.
Atomic Force Microscopes (AFM) and Scanning Tunneling Microscopes (STM) are different types of Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM). An AFM uses a sharp, microfabricated tip on a flexible cantilever (typically made of silicon) to scan over a surface and measure topography. An AFM uses the atomic forces between the tip and surface, hence its name. An AFM can work by simply "dragging" the tip across the surface or by oscillating the cantilever and sensing changes in the cantilever's amplitude.An STM, on the other hand, uses a tunneling current to sense the surface. The surface has to be at least somewhat conductive. The tip is typically a cut or etched wire made of Pt or Tungsten. Because the tunneling current drops off exponentially with distance, very accurate measurements can be made.The STM was the original scanning probe microscope invented. The AFM came afterwards to overcome the conductivity requirements of the STM.
