Abstract
This paper describes the development of a device that measures the force-displacement-curve of cantilevers to determine their stiffness. An interferometer detects the deflection of the cantilever while the force is measured by a novel EMK load cell with a soft mechanism to provide a high force resolution. The results of first cantilever calibrations with this device showed a low uncertainty and no detectable damage to the tip.
