<p>A general purpose force sensor for measuring nanometer scale surface topography and other characteristics includes a hollow micropipette (1.1) having an inner diameter of about 7.5 nanometers at its tip. The probe includes a cantilevered structure obtained by heating it near the tip to bend it. A reflective coating (1.4) is then applied to the outer surface of the micropipette.</p> |
