Abstract

Several examples of Atomic Force Microscopy imaging in the oscillatory resonant and non-resonant modes are analyzed with a theoretical description of tip-sample force interactions. The problems of high-resolution imaging and compositional mapping of heterogeneous polymers are considered. The interplay with theory helps the experiment optimization and rational understanding of the image contrast.
