Abstract
We have built a fibre optic force microscope scan head which scans the cantilever relative to a fixed sample. The design enables the fibre-t o-cantilever distance to be altered by moving the fibre relative to th e fixed cantilever. This design feature is particularly important when using the variable deflection mode and for acquiring force versus dis tance curves. Our interferometer system currently reaches a resolution of 0.01 nm (peak-to-peak).
