We present a combination of an atomic force microscopy with a quartz-crystal tuning fork in ambient conditions. A silicon cantilever tip was attached to one prong of the tuning fork to realize shear-force and intermittent contact mode Fork-AFM operation. By electronically adjusting the quality facto...
