Liquids near a solid surface form an interfacial layer where the molecular structure is different from that of the bulk. Yet the molecular-scale understanding of the interactions of liquid water with solid interfaces is unsatisfactory for the lack of high-spatial resolution methods. Here I will present an introduction to force microscopy methods to image solid-liquid interfaces. More specifically, I will introduce the state-of-the-art AFM method (3D AFM) devoted to generate three-dimensional atomic-scale resolution images of solid-liquid interfaces. Those images provide a new understanding on how water interacts with real hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces.
