摘要： A system for performing a medical procedure comprises a first assembly and a second assembly. The first assembly comprises an articulating probe assembly and a first housing. The articulating probe assembly comprises an outer probe and an inner probe. The outer probe comprises: multiple articulating outer links and a first connector. The inner probe comprises multiple articulating inner links and a second connector. The first housing comprises: a proximal portion; a distal portion; and an opening positioned in the first housing distal portion. The articulating probe is constructed and arranged to pass through the first housing opening. The second assembly comprises: a first carriage constructed and arranged to operably engage the first connector of the outer probe; a second carriage constructed and arranged to operably engage the second connector of the inner probe; a dual linear drive assembly configured to independently translate the first carriage and the second carriage; and a second housing comprising a proximal portion and a distal portion. The first assembly is constructed and arranged to operably attach to the second assembly. Methods of performing a medical procedure are also described.

摘要： The method for mapping a mechanical property of a surface of a sample with a scanning force microscope comprises the steps of (a) scanning a fine tip in contact with the surface of the sample within a predetermined scan area, the fine tip being supported on an end of a cantilever beam, (b) applying a loading force on the surface of the sample by the fine tip, (c) using a constant frequency sine wave to oscillate the cantilever beam relative to the surface of the sample, (d) measuring a detector response of the fine tip at the end of the cantilever beam, (e) determining an amplitude of the detector response and a change in phase angle of the detector response relative to the sine wave used to oscillate the cantilever beam, and (f) relating the amplitude and the change in phase angle to a property of the surface of the sample. A feedback system is utilized which regulates the total force imposed by the fine tip onto the surface of the sample so that the amplitude of the detector response is maintained constant. Because the force does not depend on the topography of the sample, the average cantilever deflection is directly related to the mechanical property of the surface of the sample and is not affected by any topographical feature present on the surface of the sample.
