Photonic Force Microscopy (PFM) uses optically trapped nanoparticles to measure forces in the sub-piconewton range. This makes it a very soft probing technique that is perfectly suited to investigate surface interactions with biological samples. In addition, PFMs can be used in scan mode to create surface-profiles with a resolution better than the optical diffraction limit. A common problem for probing techniques that operate in contact mode is sticking of the probe to the sample. To overcome this problem, we present an intermittent contact mode PFM to improve the technique’s robustness by reducing contact times and binding between sample and probe.
