Abstract
Conventional AFM is highly restricted by its scan rate, a problem that has been overcomeby the development of high-speed AFM systems. As the technology to produce higher scanrates has developed it has pushed forward the design of control software. However, the userinterface has not evolved at the same rate, limiting the user to sequential control steps. Inthis paper we demonstrate the integration of HSAFM with a multitouch interface toproduce a highly intuitive and responsive control environment. This enables nanometreresolution to be maintained whilst scanning the sample over tens of microns, and arbitrarypaths to be traversed. We illustrate this by scanning around two chromosomes inwater, before scanning on top of the chromosome, showing the surface structure.
