<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an atomic force microscope forming an exact energy dissipation image, and also to provide a method for forming the energy dissipation image that uses the atomic force microscope. <P>SOLUTION: The atomic force microscope comprises: a cantilever 1 having a probe 20 for contacting with a sample 21; a vibrating means for impressing vibration on the cantilever 1; a vibration control means for controlling the vibrating means, according to the amplitude set value set; an amplitude detecting means 17 for detecting the amplitude value of the vibration of the cantilever 1; and an image forming means 19 for forming the energy dissipation image, on the basis of the vibration of the cantilever 1. Difference information, on the basis of a difference between the amplitude set value and the amplitude detection value detected by the amplitude detecting means, is fed back to the vibrating means. The cantilever 1 is vibrated by the vibrating means so that the cantilever 1 goes into its resonant state, and dissipation image of energy is formed by the image forming means 19, according to the difference information. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
