You are to imagine that you are an atomic force microscope (AFM) instrument manufacturer interested in convincing a potential materials science customer that (1) they should be investing in an AFM to get crucial insights necessary for their research; and (2) they should buy your AFM. As part of your pitch, you should provide them with a brief introduction to what AFM actually isincluding a brief history of its development, what it allows you to do, and what typical operating parameters or performance metrics are. You are to do this as a 5-7 page (double-spaced) prospectus.
