Nature is the best example of a system functioning on the nanometer
scale,
wherethematerialsinvolved,energyconsumption,anddatahandlingareop-
mized. Opening the doors to the nanoworld, the emergence of the
scanning tunneling microscope in 1982 and the atomic force
microscope in 1986 led to a shift of paradigmin the understanding
and perception of matter at its most fundamentallevel. As
aconsequence,newrevolutionaryconceptsstimulateda number of new
technologies. The current volume Scanning Probe Methods in
Nanoscience and Nanotechnology showsthat these methods arestill
making a tremendous impact on many disciplines that range from
fundamental physics andchemistry
throughinformationtechnology,spintronics,quantumcomp- ing, and
molecular electronics, all the way to life sciences. Indeed, over
6,000 AFM-related papers were published in 2008 alone, bringing the
total to more than 70,000 since its invention, according to the web
of science, and the STM has inspired a total of 20,000 papers.
There are also more than 500 patents related to the various forms
of scanning probe microscopes. Commerciali- tion of the technology
started at the end of the 1980s, and approximately 12,000
commercial systems have been sold so far to customers in areas as
diverse as fundamental research,the car industry, and even the
fashion ind- try. There are also a signi?cant number of home-built
systems in operation.

technology. TheRosettamissiontocomet67Plaunchedbythe
EuropeanSpaceAgencyin 2004 includes an AFM in its MIDAS
(Micro-Imaging Dust Analysis System) instrument.
