1. An atomic force microscope platform formed of monolithic diamond material, the atomic force microscope platform comprising:
one or more spin defects configured to emit fluorescent light; and
an optical outcoupling structure formed by the monolithic diamond material and configured to optically guide the fluorescent light emitted by the one or more spin defects toward an output end of the optical outcoupling structure,
wherein the one or more spin defects are located no more than 50 nm from a sensing surface of the atomic force microscope platform;
wherein the atomic force microscope platform including the optical outcoupling structure is formed of a diamond component having at least one linear dimension greater than 1 μm in length;
wherein the atomic force microscope platform further comprises an attachment region located remote from the outcoupling structure and configured to be attached to an atomic force microscope.
