The invention of scanning probe microscopy (SPM) provided an unprecedented method to explore locally the material properties of surfaces and nanostructures at the atomic scale. Recent progress, involving the simultaneous acquisition of tunneling current and atomic force measurements, opens new horizons in the SPM field. On the other hand, this enhanced experimental complexity calls for a detailed understanding of the imaging mechanisms. Reliable interpretation of experimental data and further proliferation of this technique strongly relies on our theoretical understanding of ongoing physical processes during scanning. Here, we discuss the current status of, and challenges for, the theoretical description of simultaneous AFM/STM measurements.
