Due to its high sensitivity, scanning force microscopy offers the possibility to map minute van der Waals forces between microprobe and sample surface at high spatial resolution. A detailed theoretical analysis confirms that the interactions involved directly reflect near‐surface dielectric properties hardly accessible to conventional detection techniques. This opens a new field of application to modern scanned‐probe techniques: van der Waals microscopy.
