Abstract
The present document relates to a anatomic force microscope comprising a probe comprising a probe tip configured to sense a sample disposed proximate to the probe tip, a detector to detect a deflection of the probe tip, an actuator coupled to the probe and configured to move the probe in a sense state with the sample at a predetermined force set point and a vibrator in communication with the sample to provide a vibration to the sample, the vibration comprising a modulation frequency, wherein the acoustic vibrator is configured to provide the vibration in a modulation period after an initial sense period without modulation and wherein the probe is moved during or after said modulation period to a successive sample position over said sample while moving the probe in a non-contact state.
