Abstract:
A cantilever system for use in an atomic force microscope (AFM) is disclosed. The cantilever system comprises a base cantilever portion and a paddle connected to the base cantilever portion with one end free to move relative to the base cantilever portion. The base cantilever portion has an effective bending stiffness, k 1 , and the paddle has an effective bending stiffness, k 2 . The ratio of the effective bending stiffness, k 1 , to the bending stiffness, k 2 , is at least greater than 4. Such a cantilever system provides a stable, i.e., invariant contact resonant frequency, independent of the changes in the local contact stiffness.

Claim (Index 8):
The device of  claim 7  wherein the thickness t p  is no greater than one third of t c .
