What scanning mode, experiment/workspace and probe should I select

Roughness measurements Topographic measurements with no steep/abrupt steps Steep/abrupt steps but no high aspect ratio High aspect ratio measurements Large area fast scan
Recommended mode Roughness measurement can be done in both Contact, Tapping and ScanAsyst mode. We recommend ScanAsyst mode because of less chance of (non-uniform) deformation of the sample and less tip wear - and because of ease of use. However it also works fine in tapping mode. For Topographic measurements with no steep/abrupt steps we also recommend Tapping mode on most samples. Only on very soft samples (e.g. cells) we recommend ScanAsyst due to less chance of (non-uniform) deformation of the sample - or if you need QNM data. We mainly recommend Tapping mode because we experience less problems when the tip end is slightly broken. For Steep/abrupt steps but no high aspect ratio structures we still recommend Tapping mode unless you need need QNM data. For High aspect ratio measurements we recommend Tapping mode. We do not have experience with ScanAsyst therefore we recommend Tapping mode. For large scan areas where you prioritize to scan fast then you can use contact mode. Here you can scan with scan rate of up to 2.43 Hz

Tappping mode in air - 6µm Deep Trench (for steps >1~µm)

Standard Contact mode

*By choosing the work space/experiment QNM in air (Mechanical properties - QNM in air) scanAsyst is included and so are the nanomechanical properties like modulus, adhesion, dissipation and deformation.
