ABSTRACT:
Techniques and systems using polarizable objects in sufficiently close proximity to measure the force of interaction between a sample and a probe to obtain information about the properties of the sample. One or more small mechanical oscillators with high force sensitivity are engaged to the sample or the probe for the measurements.
