English: The changes to the Fermi levels of the Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP) sample and probe during measurement are shown. On electrical connection of the probe and sample their Fermi levels equilibrate, and a charge develops at the probe and sample. A backing potential is applied to null this charge, returning the sample Fermi level to its original position.
