Abstract
A probe (10,30,40) for forming images of surfaces (11) facilitates simultaneous formation of both thermal and atomic force microsocopy images. The probe (10,30,40) includes a heat sensing assembly (15) that has a heat sensing element (19,38,42). An electrically isolating and thermally conductive tip (22,48) projects from the heat sensing assembly. The probe (10) also has a reflective element (24) that is positioned between a first end of the heat sensing assembly (15) and the electrically isolating and thermally conductive tip (22).
