Abstract: A scanning probe microscope is provided, which can be stably used for a long time even if excitation efficiency varies during scan. A cantilever (5) is excited, and the cantilever (5) and a sample are subjected to relative scanning. A second-harmonic component detection circuit (31) detects second-harmonic component amplitude of oscillation of the cantilever (5) as integral-multiple component amplitude. The second-harmonic component amplitude is amplitude of a second-harmonic component having a frequency twice as high as excitation frequency. An excitation intensity adjustment circuit (33) controls excitation intensity based on the detected second-harmonic component amplitude such that the second-harmonic component amplitude is kept constant.

Un élément perturbateur (18) est disposé entre les premier (12) et second (14) circuits à microruban, il est déplaçable (20) pour se rapprocher ou s'éloigner des premier (12) et second (14) circuits à microruban, de telle sorte que lorsque la distance de l'élément perturbateur (18) jusqu'à l'un (12 et 14 respectivement) des circuits à microruban, la distance de l'élément perturbateur (18) jusqu'à l'autre 12 et 14 respectivement) des circuits à microruban diminue et réciproquement. La position de l'élément perturbateur (18) entre les premier (12) et second (14) circuits à microruban définit le retard différentiel, c'est-à-dire la différence (Δτ = τ1 - τ2) entre les temps (τ1, τ2) subis par les deux signaux se déplaçant sur leurs trajets à travers le dispositif de retard (10).
