摘要
Since its invention twenty years ago the atomic force microscope (AFM) has become one of the most important tools in colloid and interface science. The reason for this impact is that the AFM allows doing experiments on length, time, force, and energy scales, which are not accessible by any other technique. These experiments can be carried out under natural conditions, for example in liquid environments. In this paper we specify the length and time scales involved, give examples where by using the AFM relevant questions in colloid and interface science have been solved, and we discuss future perspectives.
