Abstract:
An atomic force microscope includes a scanner for scanning a probe along at least one translational axis, a stationary light source for generating an incident light beam, a stationary position sensitive detector for detecting a light beam reflected from a cantilever, an optical guiding mechanism for compensating a scanning motion of the probe and configured to guide the incident light beam to a spot on the cantilever and to guide the reflected light beam from the cantilever to the position sensitive detector, wherein the optical guiding mechanism includes at least two optical deflection elements per translational axis arranged to move synchronously with the probe along the respective translational axis, and configured to define an optical path between the light source and the detector for the incident and reflected light beam such that the optical path length is independent of the translation of the probe along the respective translational axis.

Claim (Index 15):
The method according to  claim 14 , wherein the optical deflection elements are adjusted to guide incident and reflected light beams in a manner that the incident and reflected light beams are parallel to each other along at least a part of the optical path.
