Abstract

A measuring method of a scanning probe microscopy moves the probe from the first measuring point to the second measuring point while the probe has contact with the object to be measured and a pressing force weaker than the first pressing force is applied between the probe and the object to be measured after the measurement at the first measuring point has ended, applies the first pressing force between the probe and the object to be measured until the tip end position of the probe reaches the first distance in the depth direction from the upper surface of the object to be measured, and measures the physical property information of the object to be measured after the tip end position of the probe has reached the first distance in the depth direction from the upper surface of the object to be measured at the second measuring point.
