Abstract
Colloidal gold particles are used as hard, spherical imaging targets t o assist in the three-dimensional reconstruction of the atomic force p robe apex. Probe reconstructions are shown to be accurate to 1 nm reso lution and dynamically change as the sample is scanned, emphasizing th e utility of colloidal gold particles as in situ calibration standards for image reconstruction of a coadsorbed specimen.
