Abstract
We have imaged, in ultrahigh vacuum, the (001) surface of NaCl using an optical‐beam‐deflectin force microscope operating in the short‐range repulsive regime. The design and performance characteristics of the microscope are given, and the observed atomic corrugations are compared with those deduced from He‐atom scattering experiments.Keywords
