12. Adhesion force calculations assume a force constant of 0.06 N/m, the published value for an unmodified, commercially available cantilever (Digital Instruments). The actual force constant of the modified tip is likely larger than the assumed value; therefore, emphasis is placed on the relative magnitudes of the adhesion forces.
