Applied Scanning Probe Methods VII: Biomimetics and Industrial Applications

The scanning probe microscopy field has been rapidly expanding. It is a demanding task to collect a timely overview of this field with an emphasis on technical dev- opments and industrial applications. It became evident while editing Vols. I–IV that a large number of technical and applicational aspects are present and rapidly - veloping worldwide. Considering the success of Vols. I–IV and the fact that further colleagues from leading laboratories were ready to contribute their latest achie-...
