Introduction
This document serves as a comprehensive user guide for Bruker's PeakForce QNM (Quantitative NanoMechanics) technology, an advanced mode of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM).
PeakForce QNM enables the quantitative measurement of nano-scale material properties, including modulus, adhesion, deformation, and dissipation. It leverages the Peak Force Tapping mode and incorporates ScanAsyst for automated optimization, facilitating high-resolution imaging and precise material characterization.
