Force Measurement

Park Systems offers a range of force measurement modes that can be used to easily analyze the sample’s material properties and ensure accurate measurement each time with its unique spring calibration.

Force-Distance Spectroscopy

Force-Distance Spectroscopy mode with Park AFM provides mechanical property information by measuring the vertical force that the tip applies to the surface and the sample displacement while the probe is brought into contact with the surface of the sample at a specific location. It can also be used to analyze surface contaminants’ viscosity, lubrication thickness, and local variations in the elastic properties of the surface.
