Atomic Force and Optical Microscopy Characterization of the Deformation of Individual Carbon Nanotubes and Nanofibers
Figure 2
(a), (c) SEM and (b), (d) optical microscopy images of the AFM tips with attached nanostructures. Insets show close-up of the attachment points. Parts of the video image are labeled for clarity. The dashed lines in (b) show the profile of the cantilever, only part of which scatters
light into the optical microscope. (a), (b) are for the carbon nanofiber and (c), (d) are for the carbon nanotube.
