What scanning mode, experiment/workspace and probe should I select
| Roughness measurements | Topographic measurements with no steep steps | Steep steps but no high aspect ratio | High aspect ratio measurements | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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. | For Topographic measurements with no steep steps we also recommend ScanAsyst mode due to less chance of (non-uniform) deformation of the sample and less tip wear - and because of ease of use. | For Steep steps but no high aspect ratio structures we still recommend ScanAsyst mode but it will go slower than Tapping mode. | For High aspect ratio measurements we recommend Tapping mode. There is not yet a ScanAsyst probe developed for high aspect ratio. Therefor we recommend Tapping mode. |
| Recommended probes | ScanAsyst in air | ScanAsyst in air | ScanAsyst in air for ScanAsyst mode

| Recommended experiment/Workspace |
ScanAsyst in air - roughness (<10nm) |
ScanAsyst in air - standards |
ScanAsyst in air - steep steps | Tapping mode in air 300nm (for steps <~1µm)
Tappping mode in air 6µm (for steps >1~µm) |
