Force resolution comparison between cantilevers optimized for operation in vacuum and in water for varying fmax. In the latter case, fluid damping reduces the natural frequency and quality factor of the cantilever, necessitating a reduction in length to maintain the same resonant frequency. The effect is pronounced for high frequency operation and for wider cantilevers.
