2D Section Profile
-Select linear region of plot and plot 2D section profile (height along line) z vs. x to get quantitative mathematical
functional form of topography. For example, we can see the profile of the deformation of indent plus form of plastically
deformed "pileup" regions" one can use these profiles in conjunction with modeling to extract out material properties
such as modulus, yield stress, anisotropy, and strain hardening behavior.
-In the next assignment, you will have to use a section profile on nanoparticles to estimate the probe tip radius.

AFM can be combined with high resolution force spectroscopy and nanoindentation since cantilever probe tip can be
employed for both imaging and nanomechanical measurements nanomechanical measurements with positional
accuracy down to the nanoscale (Vandiver, et al. Biomaterials 26 (2005) 271283).
