Abstract
A new type of microscope, based on a vibrating contact tip and piezoelectric detection is described. The tip diameter defines the resolution of the instrument as in other near-field microscopes. The obtained images reveal surface topography and subsurface elastic inhomogeneities. The microdeformation principle and the setup are presented. Amplitude and phase images show surface and subsurface defects in metallic samples
