Abstract
The feasibility of a rod-shaped I MHz length extension quartz resonato r as a probe for scanning near-field acoustic microscopy was investiga ted. A corner of the quartz rod which is exposed at an angle of 45 deg rees to the surface of the sample is used as a probing tip. The dampin g of the vibration increases with the approach of the tip to the sampl e and is used as a signal to obtain a topographic image of the sample at sub-micron resolution.
