Photo induced Force Microscopy (PiFM) combines the analytical power of infrared vibrational spectroscopy with the spatially resolved nano-topographical information of atomic force microscopy (AFM) creating an extraordinarily powerful technique for investigating the behaviour of surfaces in greater detail than has previously been possible. Whereas techniques such as SEM, EDX and…
