|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/abrupt 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/abrupt steps but no high aspect ratio structures we still recommend '''ScanAsyst mode''' due to ease of use but it will scan slower than Tapping mode.  
|For Steep/abrupt steps but no high aspect ratio structures we still recommend '''ScanAsyst mode''' due to ease of use and lower top wear.  
|For High aspect ratio measurements we recommend Tapping mode. There is not yet a ScanAsyst probe developed for high aspect ratio. Therefore we recommend '''Tapping mode'''.
