Ch. 11. Tutorial: AC Mode in Air, ES Sec. 11.2. Loading the Cantilever and Sample
12.
Loosen the cantilever clip:
• Unscrew the clamping screws by one
half turn.
• Do not unthread the screw completely.
If you accidentally do, please refer to
the cantilever holder chapter.
13.
Remove the old cantilever:
• If a cantilever has already been loaded,
use tweezers to remove it from the
cantilever holder.
14.
Select new cantilever:
• Use tweezers to pick up new cantilever.
• Close the box! Ruining $1k of levers by
putting your hand on an open box is not
unheard of.
Note If your lab saves some old cantilevers,
consider practicing with a “dummy”
cantilever.
Tip Some find it useful to first lay the chip
down on a non-sticky surface and re-grip it
before continuing.
