Other Members of the SPM Family
In this chapter, some other members of the scanning probe microscopy family are briefly described. All probe microscopes are based upon probing tips, but some tips are rather different from standard STM tips. Methods such as scanning near-field optical mi

Advanced Texts in Physics This program of advanced texts covers a broad spectrum of topics which are of current and emerging interest in physics. Each book provides a comprehensive and yet accessible introduction to a field at the forefront of modern research. As such, these texts are intended for senior undergraduate and graduate students at the MS and PhD level; however, research scientists seeking an introduction to particular areas of physics will also benefit from the titles in this collection.

Preface
Two decades after its invention, scanning probe microscopy has become a widely used method in laboratories as diverse as industrial magnetic storage development or structural biology. Consequently, the community of users ranges from biologists and medical researchers to physicists and engineers, all of them exploiting the unrivalled resolution and pr
