Abstract:
A probe for atomic force microscopy comprises a tip for atomic force microscopy oriented in a direction referred to as the longitudinal direction and protrudes from an edge of a substrate in the longitudinal direction, wherein the tip is arranged at one end of a shuttle attached to the substrate at least via a first and via a second structure, which structures are referred to as support structures, at least the first support structure being a flexible structure, extending in a direction referred to as the transverse direction, perpendicular to the longitudinal direction and anchored to the substrate by at least one mechanical linkage in the transverse direction, the support structures being suitable for allowing the shuttle to be displaced in the longitudinal direction. An atomic force microscope comprising at least one such probe is also provided.

Claim (Index 1):
A probe for atomic force microscopy comprising a tip for atomic force microscopy that is oriented in a direction referred to as the longitudinal direction and protrudes from an edge of a substrate in said longitudinal direction, said tip being arranged at one end of a shuttle that is attached to said substrate at least via a first and via a second structure, which structures are referred to as support structures, wherein:\n said support structures are both anchored to the substrate and are linked to said shuttle at different positions, in said longitudinal direction, of the latter; at least said first support structure extends mainly in a direction referred to as the transverse direction, perpendicular to said longitudinal direction and is anchored to the substrate by at least one mechanical linkage in said transverse direction, the longitudinal and transverse directions forming a plane that is parallel to a main surface of the substrate, and wherein: said support structures are deformable in the longitudinal direction, allowing the shuttle to be displaced in this same direction.
