Problems solved by technology

[0004] At present, commonly used probe modification techniques include coating method, gluing method, spray method, solution deposition method, etc. However, since the radius of curvature of the probe tip is at the nanometer level, it is difficult to observe, and the modification of the tip usually requires the help of large-scale microscopic observation and Operating equipment, demanding experimental conditions
At the same time, the surface area of ​​the probe tip is limited, and the above method cannot guarantee the precise attachment of monodisperse nanoparticles to the tip, which affects the subsequent testing of imaging quality and force curves.
Moreover, due to the limited particle adhesion strength, the use strength and reusability of the probe cannot be guaranteed
