What is AFMAtomic force microscope (AFM) is a kind of scanning probe microscope (SPM) that came out in the early 1980s. In 1986, Dr. Binning won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his invention of the scanning probe microscope. The magnification of this microscope far exceeds any previous microscope: the magnification of optical microscopes generally does not exceed 1000 times; the magnification limit of electron microscopes is 1 million times; and the magnification of atomic force microscopes can be as high as 1 billion times The resolu...
