This chapter presents an overview of Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) principles followed by details on AFM instrumentation. In particular, the frequency modulation method of the non-contact AFM (NC-AFM) used in ultra-high vacuum conditions is explained in detail. Then, applications of NC-AFM for an atomic-scale range characterization of semiconductor and isolator surfaces as well as supported nanostructures are introduced. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2013.
