"There are several advantages of using an atomic force microscope. Some are: • It is non destructive (unlike TEM) • True Vertical height measurement is possible, with a sub nm resolution. • Material property characterization, such as topography, adhesion, hardness, friction etc., can be done • It is not necessary for the surface to be conducting, which is mandatory for STM (scanning tunneling microscope) • Dip pen nano lithography and tip induced oxidation enables creation of surface patterns with very low lateral resolution (few nm).
