A chemically inert tip apex of an atomic force microscope (AFM), such as a carbon-monoxide (CO) molecule, allows to enter the repulsive interaction regime without destroying tip or sample. Imaging in a gentle repulsive regime has led to unprecedented spatial resolution of organic molecules [1] and opened the way for numerous results on different sample systems [2,3]. Here, we probe the ionic CaF2 (111) surface with a CO-terminated tip over a range of distances, starting from a regime, where short-range electrostatics dominate the AFM contrast, down to distances, where Pauli repulsion and CO bending lead to a complete reversal of the atomic-scale contrast. By comparing the data to simulations, we demonstrate that a mechanical model using the overlap of electron densities [4] as well as the Lennard-Jones potential [5] is reproducing experimental AFM images even at tip-sample distances, where strong lateral forces cause strong lateral deflection of the CO molecule at the tip apex.
