MeSH definition : A type of scanning probe microscopy in which a probe systematically rides across the
surface of a sample being scanned in a raster pattern. The vertical position is recorded
as a spring attached to the probe rises and falls in response to peaks and valleys
on the surface. These deflections produce a topographic map of the sample.;
MeSH synonym : atomic force microscopies; force microscopies; force microscopies, scanning; force microscopy; microscopies, force; microscopy, force; microscopy, scanning force; scanning force microscopies; scanning force microscopy; force microscopy, scanning; microscopies, scanning force; atomic force microscopy; microscopies, atomic force;
