TL;DR: In this article, the relative deflection of the two cantilevers is related to their spring constants, and the authors used a micromachined reference cantilever of a precisely controlled force constant.
Patent
Large stage system for scanning probe microscopes and other instruments
TL;DR: In this paper, a large scale horizontal translation stage for a microscope or other instrument particularly a scanning probe microscope is disclosed, where the translation stage is provided with air bearings which allow it to float over a planar surface.
Patent
Piezoresistive cantilever for scanning probe microscope
TL;DR: A cantilever for a scanning probe microscope is described in this article, which includes a piezoresistor for detecting the deflection of the cantilevers and a tip which is formed integrally with the cantilesver.
Patent
Scanning force microscope having aligning and adjusting means
TL;DR: In this article, the optical deflection detection system is configured to provide direct visual observation of the probe with respect to the sample, and the mirror of the system is mounted in a cut away portion of a sphere and defines the axis of rotation of a kinematic mount, such providing ease of fine adjustment of the detection system.
