Abstract
An improved method is provided for performing nanomanipulations using an atomic force microscope. The method includes: performing a nanomanipulation operation on a sample surface using an atomic force microscope; determining force data for forces that are being applied to the tip of the cantilever during the nanomanipulation operation, where the force data is derived along at least two perpendicularly arranged axis; and updating a model which represents the topography of the sample surface using the force data.
