Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is used to investigate surface structures by measuring the interaction force between the tip and sample. Non-contact AFM (NC-AFM) that incorporates a qPlus sensor further enhances the spatial resolution of scanning probe microscopy based on traditional AFM principles. In this perspective, we give a brief introduction to the mechanisms of high-resolution imaging and force measurements using NC-AFM. We then summarize recent applications of NC-AFM in the fields of on-surface chemical reactions, low-dimensional materials, surface charge distribution in molecules, as well as technical improvements and developments of NC-AFM technologies. The opportunities and challenges for NC-AFM technologies are also presented.
