Abstract
Force curves were recorded as the sample was raster-scanned under the tip. This opens new opportunities for imaging with the atomic force mi croscope: several characteristics of the samples can be measured simul taneously, for example, topography, adhesion forces, elasticity, van d er Waals, and electrostatic interactions. The new opportunities are il lustrated by images of several characteristics of thin metal films, ag gregates of lysozyme, and single molecules of DNA.
