Potassium iodide has been exposed to ultraviolet light while on a scan
ning force microscope stage, both by retracting the tip a few mu m dur
ing exposure and by continuous in situ exposure while imaging. Previou
s studies are extended to significantly lower ambient humidity in this
work, and the introduction of UV light under the cantilever is examin
ed.
