Abstract
Peculiarities of the image contrast formation have been studied while inves tigating samples with different surface topography by lateral force microsc opy (LFM). The main contribution to the lateral image contrast has been sho wn to come from the chemical composition, which makes it possible to use th is method for distinguishing between structurally close nanophases. The con trast formation has been analyzed at various scan rates.
