Abstract
Force measurements in a variety of colloidal systems have been conduct ed using a new device which utilizes the light-lever technique employe d in atomic force microscopy. The systems studied include electrostati c double-layer forces, hydrophobic interactions, liquid crystal struct ures, and polymer adsorption forces. The new device has some clear adv antages over adaptation of an imaging atomic force microscope for forc e measurements.
