This is one of my favorite SPM videos. My company makes an Scanning Probe Microscope (more commonly known as an AFM) which goes into a Zeiss Scanning Electron Microscope. You can unlock some really neat applications with the combination - scanning areas which would be hard to locate, observing the tip interaction with the sample and using the Focused Ion Beam to remove material from the sample. With SPM, you can do a variety of measurements - measure the topology, measure the electrical properties, surface potential, conductivity, etc. Here's a neat video of the system in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrsoS5e39H8 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BrsoS5e39H8
