Lateral oscillation or dithering is added to the vertical oscillation. It provides a tip-sidewall interaction signal that can drive lateral feedback while the vertical channel maintains height control. This is how a suitable flared tip can track steep or reentrant walls. Treating the additional signal as merely a larger vertical tapping amplitude would not supply the required sidewall sensing.[ref]
