32. A stationary cantilever experiencing an static, external force, F, is deflected by δz = F/k. During the noncontact portion of the amplitude curves, the largest force we measured was on the order of 1 nN, which caused a static deflection on the order of 1 nm. Since this deflection was much smaller than the 6.7 nm steps taken in the amplitude curves, we neglected static forces on the cantilever.

41. It is possible, however, to obtain a better fit when the point dipole tip in the model is arbitrarily positioned much farther from the sample surface than the tip apex.
