Considered are atomic force microscopy methods concerning problems of experimental nanomechanics targeted on estimation of physical and mechanical properties of materials in nanovolumes and thin surface layers. Presented are examples of obtaining and interpretation of the contrast AFMimages that allow mapping of of local mechanical heterogeneity of nanostructured materials.
