Conclusions

Scanning probe microscopes allow to resolve small structures with very high resolution. Therefore, these instruments are essential for dimensional metrology from micro to atomic scale. The image obtained, however, is more than a morphological operation linking tip and sample geometry. To achieve high accuracy a detailed knowledge of the interaction between sample and tip is necessary. First approaches have been published, however, SPM techniques need more appropriate and more quantitative models.
