It is well known that the resolution of AFM mainly depends on the tip diameter of the cantilever though there are also other factors. For a cantilever having tip radius 10 nm what should be the resolution in ambient conditions?
For AM-AFM the resolution in Z-axis should be in order of Angstroms under certain conditions. However it depends also on the material of the sample. Lateral resolution is much higher, around 10 nm.
It is well known that AFM provides resolution in the range of nanometres. But question is about the expected resolution (precisely) for a tip with 10 nm radius.
