    The document discusses the key components of an atomic force microscope including: 1. The optical lever which detects deflections of the cantilever and probe. 2. The cantilever and probe which operate by scanning the sample surface. 3. Using LabVIEW to control the power supply, analyze signals from the differential amplifier, and plot sample image data. Progress made includes constructing the frame, circuitry, and using LabVIEW to control the power supply and respond to output signals. Further work is needed on the stepper motor driver and ensuring the cantilever is suitably flexible.
