In this paper, a scanning thermal microscopy (SThM) module with a modified Wheatstone bridge is presented. It is intended to be used with a novel four-terminal thermoresistive nanoprobe, which was designed for performing thermal measurements in standard static-mode atomic force microscopes. The modi...
