Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) has unlocked the nanoworld for exploration and control. While substantial effort has been dedicated towards the development of better instrumental platforms and probes, opportunities related to signal processing and data acquisition in SPMareoftenoverlooked. In this work, we discuss opportunities offered by capturing the full information of thedata stream from the detector, referred to as General Mode (G-Mode) SPM. This approach allows exploration of the complex tip-surface interactions, spatial mapping of multidimensional variability of material properties and their mutual interactions, and imaging at the information channel capacity limit, providing a new paradigm for SPM detection.
