In this section we explore each of these needs.

In this section we consider a very different approach to developing an image of a surface, one in which we bring a probe close to the surface and examine how the probe interacts with the surface. One advantage of this approach is that the interaction between the probe and the surface can include attraction and repulsion, which opens up vertical movement as a third dimension to the image.
