An atomic force microscope (AFM) is a precision instrument designed to examine surfaces at the nanometer and atomic scales. It uses a sharp probe tip that moves across the sample in a raster pattern to gather detailed information about the surface properties. The AFM provides much higher resolution than traditional optical microscopes, as the diffraction of light does not limit it. Data is collected through direct contact with the surface or close-range interaction between the probe and the sample. The microscope includes piezoelectric elements, which are materials that respond to electrical signals by producing very small and precise mechanical movements, allowing for highly accurate scanning.
