<p>The acoustic screen scan microscope makes use of the damping of a resonant acoustic oscillator (2) through the acoustic short-range field effect. Example: A 32kHz tuning fork (2) used as an acoustic oscillator with a 50nm point (8) attains a vertical resolution of 5nm and a horizontal resolution of 50nm at a minimum distance (9) of about 50nm. The changes in the frequency or amplitude of the resonant oscillator (2) may be used. The acoustic short-range field effect depends upon the coupling medium, e.g. air, and the pressure, e.g. normal pressure.</p> |
