In Sect. 2.4.3 a simple approximation (F c = 4πγR) was introduced to calculate the capillary force between the ball and the flat sample. Throughout the book cases were shown where this equation did not hold. This appendix, therefore, presents a detailed derivation of this equation and shows where simplifications are introduced.
