ABSTRACT:
A force-sensing system suitable, for example, for atomic force microscopy. This system includes a rocking beam, a base, and means for supporting the beam adjacent a surface of the base such that the beam can pivot about at least one axis parallel to the base surface. In contrast to rocking-beam systems of the prior art, the support means comprise at least one pivot element that can be held against the base surface by a magnetic field.
