High resolution images of pat- terned liquid surfaces have been acquired without inducing either capillary wetting (“bridging”) or strong perturbations of the liquid surface profile. Using a 5500 AFM system with Mac Mode Controller from Agilent Technologies in dynamic force mode an oscillating cantilever/tip ensemble is used to probe the liquid surface. In order to achieve high resolution stable images on these patterned liquid surfaces it is crucial that the oscil- lating tip not contact the liquid surface. [1] The liquid topogra- phies were imaged in non-contact, amplitude modulation AFM (NCAM-AFM), a dynamic imaging mode where the AFM cantilever is vibrated with relatively small
