(a) Acquired resonance curves of the AFM cantilever at different immersion lengths of the needle. Subsequent curves are offset upwards by 2 nm in amplitude to better present the data. Actual resonance curves have the same peak amplitude. (b) Dependence of the measured Q factor as a function of the immersion length. The quality factor of the cantilever system in air is ~450.
