Problems solved by technology

[0006] In order to solve the problem that the force signal detected by AFM single-molecule force spectroscopy in the prior art is easily considered to be generated by the movement of the AFM probe itself rather than the dynamic process on the cell surface, the present invention provides a force display for an atomic force microscope tracking method

Abstract

The invention discloses a force tracing method for an atomic force microscope (AFM), which relates to the technical field of micro force measurement methods and solves the problem that force signals obtained by the traditional AFM single molecule force spectrum method are easily regarded as signals generated by motions of an AFM probe but not signals generated in a dynamic process on cell surfaces. The force tracing method for the AFM comprises the following steps of: after needle feed is finished under the control of a feedback regulation system, closing the feedback regulation system, and determining a position of the AFM probe in a Z direction when the AFM probe is contacted with the surface of a tested object through an obtained force-distance curve; gradually approaching the AFM probe to the surface of the tested object, and when the AFM probe is just contacted with the surface of the tested object, closing the feedback regulation system and stopping feeding the probe to ensure that a cantilever is deflected immediately; and acquiring a relation of the deflection of the cantilever along with time by utilizing a data acquisition card. According to the force tracing method, influences of the motions in the Z direction of the AFM probe driven by a piezoelectric ceramic scanner on dynamic process researches of the surface of the tested object are avoided.
