Abstract
We present the implementation of an atomic force microscope (AFM) based on fiber-top design. Our results demonstrate that the performances of fiber-top AFMs in contact mode are comparable to those of similar commercially available instruments. Our device thus represents an interesting
alternative to existing AFMs, particularly for applications outside specialized research laboratories,
where a compact, user-friendly, and versatile tool might often be preferred.
