We report on the development of a scanning probe microscope using nitrogen-vacancy (NV) center in diamond that operates under ambient conditions. Our nuclear magnetic resonance imaging setup comprises of an atomic force microscope (AFM) integrated into an optical confocal microscope . The nanoscale sample under study, containing nuclear spins, is attached onto the tip of an AFM cantilever. The tip is positioned close to a shallow implanted NV center in isotopically purified carbon-12 diamond. Optical readout of the spin quantum state of the NV center encodes information about the magnetic dipolar interaction of sample nuclear spins with the NV electronic spin. Monitoring the fluorescence of the NV center while mechanically scanning the diamond sample with respect to the cantilever tip in three dimensions provides data that could allow the reconstruction of nuclear spin density.
