We consider the Casimir force including all important corrections to it for the configuration used in a recent experiment employing an atomic force microscope. We calculate the long-range hypothetical forces due to the exchange of light and massless elementary particles between the atoms constituting the bodies used in the experiment --- a dielectric plate and a sphere both covered by two thin metallic layers. The corrections to these forces caused by the small surface distortions were found to be essential for nanometer Compton wave lengthes of hypothetical particles. New constraints for the constants of Yukawa-type interactions are obtained from the fact that such interactions were not observed within the limits of experimental accuracy. They are stronger up to 140 times in some range than the best constraints known up date. Different possibilities are also discussed to strengthen the obtained constraints in several times without principal changes of the experimental setup.
