Abstract
The scanning of the AFM tip above the surface of close-packed crystal is considered. The surface of constant force projection are calculated onto the arbitrary axis inclined at some angle to the vertical direction. It has been shown that the relief depth of such constant force surfaces is larger than for the generally used ones, for which the value of the vertical force component is constant. Both the case of perfect crystal and of crystal with point surface defects are investigated.
