SURFACE OBSERVATION METHOD USING SCANNING PROBE ATOMIC FORCE MICROSCOPE

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a surface observation method using a scanning probe atomic force microscope capable of observing various differences of the surface state, especially the difference of hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity of the surface. SOLUTION: The object surface is observed by measuring a horizontal force relative to the object whose surface has a part having different hydrophobicity or hydrophilicity by using the scanning probe atomic force microscope having a probe of a cantilever type modified by an organic compound.
