Hi,folks
I'm trying to measure the mechanical properties of silicon dioxide
microcantilever, such as spring constant, resonant frequency, etc. The geometry
of cantilever is about 200*150*1micron. Do you have suggestions about how to do
the job? What kinds of instruments are needed?  I heard that AFM can be used to
measure. I just don't know how? Any opinions will be appreciated. Thanks.

Best regards
