In this study, we have investigated the influence of the tip on the three-dimensional scanning force microscopy (3D-SFM) images of calcite-water interfaces by experiments and simulations. We calculated 3D force images by simulations with the solvent tip approximation (STA), Ca, CO 3 and OH tip model...
