A charge density wave (CDW) is a collective phenomenon present in many quantum materials. Currently, the formation mechanism of the CDW in 2H-NbSe2 is understood to originate from momentum and orbital dependent electron phonon coupling. Still, there are open questions regarding the involved bands and the role of Se atoms in the formation of the CDW. Here we utilize combined Scanning Tunnelling Microscopy (STM) and non-contact Atomic Force Microscopy (nc-AFM) to independently characterize the geometric as well as the electronic structure of the CDW in 2H-NbSe2. Distance-dependent current and frequency shift images reveal a different evolution of the relative contrast of the atomic and CDW periodicities. We utilize Scanning Tunnelling Spectroscopy to characterize the electronic structure close to the Fermi level. We compare the experimental results with ab-initio calculations of the energy and momentum-resolved charge density.
