Napthanic oil is oil high in saturated ring hydrocarbons (unlike aromatics which have unsaturated bonds) . AFM - atomic force microspy?? May be to do with dielectric properties?

Naphthenic oil is an industrial solvent. It's chemical properties, production and applications are outlined in the links below. I assume by AFM you mean Atomic Force Microscopy? I'm unfamiliar with the use of naphthanic oil in AFM. Part of what makes AFM so popular is that it can give surface profiles without any sample preparation. The only relation I can think of between AFM and a naphthanic oil would be its use as a cleaning solvent? Solid samples are typically cleaned before being imaged. I have used acetone, methanol, isopropanol, and of course DI water to clean my samples. But naphtha as the media? Can't help you there!
