13. The tip's velocity is calculated from the following equation: 2 × (fast-scan frequency) × (image size). The fast-scan frequency refers to how many trace-retrace cycles (refer to Figure 2) are performed per second.
14. This cantilever was chosen for its tip sharpness, its high reflectivity, and its stiffness. We found that the thermal strain (i.e., bending of the cantilever due to the mismatch in the thermal expansivity of silicon and the metal coating) was very small in comparison with other commercially available cantilevers.
