Force Volume Imaging

Force volume imaging provides a detailed map of the sample’s material properties by plotting parameters such as stiffness, cantilever snap-in, and adhesion. Parameters extracted from Force Distance (F-D) spectroscopy curves are put into a matrix that quickly and easily allows researchers to gain insights about samples properties.
