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
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/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 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.
Recommended probes	ScanAsyst in air	ScanAsyst in air	ScanAsyst in air for ScanAsyst mode TAP300Al-G for Tapping mode	AR5T-NCHR FIB6-400A
Recommended experiment/Workspace	ScanAsyst in air - roughness (<10nm)	ScanAsyst in air	ScanAsyst in air - steps	TappingMode 300nm trench (for steps <~1µm) Tappping mode in air - 6µm Deep Trench (for steps >1~µm)

By choosing the work space QNM in air (Mechanical properties - ?? - QNM in air) ScanAsyst is included and so are the nanomechanical properties like modulus, adhesion, dissipation and deformation
