Abstract

Examples of the errors that arose under the studies of metric characteristics of micro- and nanoobjects with atomic force microscopy (AFM) are presented. Degradation of the tip of the probe both under successive scanning of the same part of a sample surface and in the course of a single scan is revealed. AFM images acquired with the probe having twin apexes located at different levels are demonstrated.
