PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface force measuring method that permits accurate measurement of surface forces in a broad range.SOLUTION: By a surface force measuring method, a measurement object 1 is shifted toward a probe 4 until the probe 4 is adsorbed by the measurement object 1; after that a load is applied by an electromagnetic force generator 20 to a supporting member 6 in the direction of causing the probe 4 to move away from the measurement object 1 while gradually increasing the current supplied to the electromagnetic force generator 20; when the probe 4 has moved away from the measurement object 1, the amperage supplied to the electromagnetic force generator 20 is acquired; and the amperage is converted into a surface force working between the probe 4 and the measurement object 1. |
