9. Year 2013, Francois was looking for
an affordable AFM that can be easily built
10. 10
Nano optics
replaced by DVD OPU Head
Nano scanner
replaced by piezo buzzers
Metal parts replaced
by structures made of PCBs
Optical table replaced
by handheld anti-vibration table
4 techniques make the AFM affordable
