18. Our unusual but convenient sign convention is such that, in the rest coordinates of the atomic force microscope, for v > 0 both x(t) and F(t) = +kx(t) are positive.

26. Similarly, an "adiabatically slow" displacement Δx of the tip apex leads to much smaller displacements in the remaining parts of the cantilever. The same is no longer true in the case of vibration eigen modes of the cantilever in contact with the substrate. Accordingly, these vibration eigen modes are not described by the model (2) and (3); their amplitudes represent additional slow collective coordinates omitted in (2) and (3). Hence, no conclusions regarding η, m, etc., in (2) and (3) can be drawn from experimentally observed frequencies, quality factors, etc., of these vibrations [25].
