In this work, changes in the topography of less resistant K2O-CaO-SioO2 and more stable Na2O-CaO-Al2O3-SiO2 glasses were studied in-situ by using a high-resolution atomic force microscope (AFM) in contact mode. The images were taken in air and in water, using a special liquid cell in the latter case. Fresh fracture surfaces were prepared in the corresponding media and the samples were transferred immediately into the AFM.
