Ch. 11. Tutorial: AC Mode in Air, ES Sec. 11.2. Loading the Cantilever and Sample
2. Sample: The tutorial will use the Asylum Research calibration grating that ships with every sys-
tem (Asylum Part# 290.237).
3. Tweezers, preferably with curved tip (for example, Asylum Part# 290.102).
4. Tweezers, “platypus style” (Asylum Part# 290.165).
5. A 1/16” ball head wrench (for example, Asylum Part# 290.139).
6. A Cypher equipped with the Environmental Scanner and a large spot SLD or Laser Module (See
Chapter 18 on page 190).
11.2. Loading the Cantilever and Sample
This section covers sample and cantilever loading as well as the coarse approach of the cantilever tip
toward the sample.
1.
Raise the cantilever holder:
• Rotate the ‘Engage Control Knob’ on the
Cypher clockwise and hold until the
cantilever holder is far from the sample
or is at its upper limit of travel.
Note Although it is not required, for safety
reasons we recommend making motor moves
with the door closed. Beware of pinch points
(
Figure 20.1 on page 230).
Warning: Pay attention! If you turn the knob
the wrong way (counterclockwise), you will
lower the cantilever holder instead of raising
it. When you lower the cantilever holder, you
can crash the cantilever holder into the sample
and cause serious damage to the scanner.
2.
Open enclosure:
• Lift the door latch and open the
enclosure door.
