There's a nice three-page Research News article on "The Children of the STM" in the 9 February 1990 issue of Science (volume 247, pages 634-636). It contains very brief descriptions of the Atom force microscope, Friction force microscope, Magnetic force microscope, Electrostatic force microscope, Attractive mode force microscope, Scanning thermal microscope, Optical absorption microscope, Scanning ion-conductance microscope, Scanning near-field optical microscope, Scanning acoustic microscope and Molecular dipstick microscope. What a wonderful bag of toys for the nanotechnologist! Jeremy
