Abstract
A molecule measuring apparatus capable of controlling the drawing directions of molecules always in a uniaxial direction in a measurement performed by extending and retracting the molecules on a substrate. In the apparatus, a cantilever (200) lifts one end of a molecule (900) on the substrate (100), and a control section controls the peeling point of the molecules, which is a boundary between the portion of the molecule (900) in contact with the substrate (100) and the portion of the molecule (900) separated from the substrate (100) by the lifting, and the position of the cantilever (200) so that the peeling point and the position of the cantilever (200) are positioned vertical to the substrate (100).
Claims8
A molecule measuring apparatus comprising:
- a lifting section that lifts an edge of a molecule existing on a substrate;
- and
- a control section that controls a peeling point of the molecule and a position of a lifting section to be on a vertical line with respect to the substrate, said peeling point being a boundary between a part where the molecule contacts with the substrate and a part where the molecule is detached from the substrate by means of the lifting section.
A molecule measuring method comprising:
