Claim 15:
16. A method according to claim 9,
further comprising suspending an operation of an electro-mechanical sub-system of the apparatus for a relaxation period of time sufficient for relaxation of the creep of the surface of the viscoelastic sample that is caused by repositioning of one of the viscoelastic sample and the cantilevered probe with respect to the other of the viscoelastic sample and the cantilevered probe; and wherein said measuring includes acquiring data from the position-detecting system of the apparatus, configured to detect a deflection of a cantilever of the cantilevered probe, to determine said viscoelastic parameter after the relaxation period of time has lapsed.
