ABSTRACT
The most widely used dynamic atomic force microscopy technique in fluids is the piezo-drive, where a cantilever is driven by fluid excited by a piezoelectric. The study of the frequency response of the fluid-driven cantilever is usually interfered by the resonances of a fluid cell. In this work an active cantilever has been used to drive fluid in the vicinity of a passive cantilever. The local drive resulted in the measured response free from spurious resonances. In contrast to a magnetically driven cantilever, the oscillations of the fluid-driven cantilever tend at high frequency to finite amplitude.
