photodetector Optical lever’s sensitivity means nN forces can be controllably exerted… laser k ≈ 0.1 N/m
Design for class-room scale demo of AFM imaging mechanism… “photo-detector” screen Z axis motion… • Wheeled assembly can be rolled over books or other ~1 inch obstacles, while operator tries to maintain dot position on photo-detector screen. • An assistant can be continuously recording (strip-chart style) the ‘z piezo’ reading vs. x (horizontal position) Laser pointer mirror
