A large-amplitude vibrating cantilever scanning force microscope is analyzed numerically using an integrated Lennard-Jones-type attractive force in combination with a repulsive indentation force. The calculation yields the motion of the vibrating tip and the time-dependent force it exerts on surfaces with different degrees of softness, as a function of tip-sample equilibrium distance.
