One of the primary impediments to implementing the scanning probe geometry is the large, spurious forces on the sensitive force detector which will arise from interactions between the magnetic tip and various time-varying applied magnetic fields which can mask the desired resonance signal. 1, record 1, English, - force%20detector

Détecteurs de forces. La première méthode qui fut employée pour mesurer la déviation du levier s'imposa presque comme une évidence. Le moyen le plus puissant pour mesurer de petites distances à ce moment-là était bien évidemment le STM [microscope à effet tunnel]. En effet, il suffit de placer la pointe au-dessus du levier et de déduire ses déviations des variations du courant tunnel. Cette méthode est très bien adaptée pour des mesures effectuées dans le vide et dans des conditions favorables. 1, record 1, French, - d%C3%A9tecteur%20de%20forces

[...] uno de los elementos más cruciales de un SFM [microscopio de fuerza atómica] es el detector de fuerzas. Ese detector de fuerzas tiene que tener una alta sensibilidad dado que las fuerzas que se manejan pueden llegar a ser del orden de pN. [...] El detector de fuerzas consiste básicamente en una micropalanca con una punta (generalmente piramidal o cónica) integrada, fabricadas por técnicas de microfabricación [...] 1, record 1, Spanish, - detector%20de%20fuerzas
