Applied Scanning Probe Methods XI: Scanning Probe Microscopy Techniques Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2009 Edition

From the reviews:

“Vol. XI contains contributions about recent developments in scanning probe microscopy techniques. … The editors and their talented authors have been among the leaders in the study of probe methods. … Each chapter captures both the excitement and the importance of the work and conclusions reported, and will make profitable reading for researchers at all experience levels. … All the chapters are supported by extensive lists of references and beautifully illustrated and in color too, also along with graphs, equations etc.” (Current Engineering Practice, 2009)

“The articles … are written in sufficient detail, so that university students, researchers and engineers can understand the physics of the instruments, the design and construction of the devices and the cantilevers, the signal processing algorithms, and their use in imaging and the surface characterization of the specimens. … SPM includes a variety of techniques, including scanning near-field optical microscopy, which has interesting applications … . well-written and clearly illustrated. … contain ample experimental data and significant discussion of limitations and artifacts.” (Barry R. Masters, Optics & Photonics News, September, 2009)
