			This evaluation was done to know if the tip end of the ScanAsyst probes was typically dirty or broken when we got bad images. If it was dirty, maybe we could find a way to clean it. If it was broken off we needed to replace it. It turned out it was in most cases broken.

Tapping mode works fine for hard samples as silicon, metals and so on. ScanAsyst mode is recommended for soft samples, soft polymer, cells and the like because of less chance of (non-uniform) deformation of the sample and less tip wear. ScanAsyst is easier use but tapping mode is less sensitive to the tip wear.
