English abstract:
This article reviews mechanical design and
control of atomic force microscopes (AFM) with
a special emphasis on high-speed imaging. The
mechanical design and the control system determine
the achievable imaging speed of the AFM.
To enable AFM imaging at video-rates, imaging
speed - and thus system performance - has to be
increased by at least two orders of magnitude relative
to today´s commercial AFMs. Methods and
results presented in this paper demonstrate how
this can be achieved.
